Brief Summary

Trigger point are hyper-irritable points, appear as nodules on palpation, discrete and focal spots in the taut band of skeletal muscles. Myofascial release technique and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization both techniques are used to break the adhesions and mobilize the soft tissue, releasing the trigger points. The study will contribute in comparing the level of pain threshold perceived by males and females in our society. .Moreover, finding a noninvasive effective treatment that is non-exhaustive for the therapist and non-painful for the patient.

Conditions

Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Numeric Pain Rating Scale

  Numeric Pain Rating Scale is an 11 point tool used to assess the pain intensity among people. Its value ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 means no pain and 10 means worst possible pain. It is a reliable and valid tool (r=0.96, its validity correlations range from 0.86 to 0.95.Assesment was performed at the base line and after 6-weeks.

  for 6 weeks

• Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire

  Pain sensitivity questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool used to measure pain perception in different populations. Cronbach's alpha value for the Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire was 0.92. Assesment was performed at the base line and after 6-weeks.

  for 6 weeks

• inclinometer

  An inclinometer is a device used by physical therapist to measure range of motion for spinal posture. An inclinometer gives more accurate, precise and reproducible Range of motion measurements than goniometer. It is a reliable and valid tool r=0.93, validity=0.92. Assesment was performed at the base line and after 6-weeks.

  for 6 weeks

• Modified Somatic Perception Questionnaire

  Modified Somatic Perception Questionnaire is a self-report scale consists of 13 items. It helps to find out the complaints that are associated with psychological responses. The scale has ICC value 0.72. Assesment was performed at the base line and after 6-weeks.

  for 6 weeks

• algometer

  Algometer is a reliable and valid tool used to measure the pressure pain threshold. intraclass correlation coefficient value =0.91. Assesment was performed at the base line and after 6-weeks.

  for 6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

myofascial release technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Myofascial Release Technique will be applied with forearm/ ulnar border of palm. deep pressure will be applied and glided medially towards the thoraco-lumbar region.ins

Other: Myofascial Release Technique; Other: Instrument Assisted Soft tissue Mobilization

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

EXPERIMENTAL

instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization is done via M2T Blade. it is a multifunctional instrument consisting of many planes and is very effective in treating pain and spasm. Its efficacy is proven over soft tissues that it releases fascial tightness.
