Brief Summary

TO Investigate the effect of high intensity laser versus ischemic compression on myofascial trigger points on neck pain, cervical range of motion,pressure pain thershold and cervical disability and to show that the more effectivness therapy will provide significant clinical value

Conditions

Neck Pain

Keywords

"myofascial pain syndrome" "trigger points" "high intensity laser " "ischemic compression"

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• cervical range of motion (CROM)

  All the cervical active movements will be measured by cervical range of motion device (CROM) especially in cervical flexion ,extension and medial and lateral rotation.one tester will document the results. cervical range of motion (cROM) will be measured by using Electronic CROM Goniometer in all ranges.

  30 seconds

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• cervical pain

  one minute

Other Outcomes (1)

• pressure pain threshold (PPT)

  10 seconds
