Actual (reported)The intensity of cervical pain
A 10-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS; 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) will be used to assess the patients' current level of cervical pain, and the worst and lowest level of pain experienced in the preceding week in the cervical area.
Baseline
The intensity of cervical pain
Four weeks
The intensity of cervical pain
Eight weeks
Active cervical range of motion
Baseline, four weeks and eight weeks
Pressure pain thresholds in cervical trigger points
Baseline, four weeks and eight weeks
Patients who are pregnant, have pacemaker and those surgically operated cervical spine patients who have been treated with myofascial therapy a month earlier. Multimodal physical therapy program includes: Myofascial syndrome cervical therapy treatment.
Multimodal physical therapy program includes: * ultrasound therapy (US), * transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) * massage.
The MRT group was treated five times with several maneuvers. Each maneuver was performed once per session by slow and progressive application of a light force. The whole procedure lasted no more than 45 minutes. The treatment included four basic maneuvers. * Suboccipital induction * Posterior elongation of the cervical fascia in Supine position * Assisted cervical fascia * Myofascial induction of sternocleidomastoid

The PT group will treated during two weeks (ten days/week) with ultrasound therapy (US), transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) and massage, in this order. Ultrasound will applied in pulse mode at an intensity of 1 megahertz for 10 minutes in the sub-occipital region and the vicinity of the trapezius muscles. TENS will applied with a pulse duration of 250 microseconds at a frequency of 80 Hertz for 20 minutes in the sub-occipital region and the trapezoids. Deep massage was applied at a slow speed for 20 minutes using sliding neutral creams. Massage therapy included gliding and kneading techniques applied over trapezius (upper, lower and middle fibers), splenius capitis and levator scapulae muscles with a therapeutic intention.
