Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to see the effects of kinesio taping after integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on pain, disability, pain-pressure threshold and muscle length in patients with upper trapezius trigger points. There will be two groups experimental and control. One study group will receive kinesiotaping after integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and the other group will only receive integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique.

Conditions

Trigger Points

Keywords

Myofascial trigger points; Kinesiotaping; Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Neck disability index

  Changes from the baseline, The NDI is a modification of the neck disability index and it was developed by Vernon and Mior. It was designed to measure the neck pain and disability over time. It consists of 10 items, five parts sections. At the end, score is calculated by dividing the obtained score by total 50 multiplied by 100.

  4th Day

• Pain-Pressure threshold (PPT)

  Changes from the baseline, Pain-pressure threshold was measured with the help of an algometer.

  4th day

• NPRS

  Changes from the baseline, Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain intensity starting from 0-10. Where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicate severe pain.

  4th Day

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Muscle length measure
