Brief Summary

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Graston technique versus Kinesiotaping on myofascial pain syndrome after neck dissection surgery.

Conditions

Post Neck Dissection Surgery

Keywords

Graston technique (IASTM); Kinesiotape; Myofascial pain syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Range of motion (ROM) (cervicallateralflexion)

  Universal Goniometer is a reliable instrument used to evaluate Range of motion in degrees

  Pretreatment, post treatment ( after 4 weeks of treatment)

• Range of motion (ROM) (cervical rotation)

  Universal Goniometer is a reliable instrument used to evaluate Range of motion in degrees

  Pretreatment, post treatment ( after 4 weeks of treatment)

• Pressure pain threshold

  Pressure Algometer with a spring is used. They maintain a peak force or pressure (KP (kilopond) = 10 N, Newton = 100 kPa (kilopascal)) until tared

  Pretreatment, post treatment ( after 4 weeks of treatment)

• Assessment of pain

  Vasual Analogue Scale(VAS) is used technique for assessing pain intensity , a continuous scale with a vertical or horizontal line of 100 mm, from 0 to10, whose extremes are designated "no pain" and "worst imaginable pain" (0= no pain; 10= most painful imaginable pain).

  Pretreatment, post treatment ( after 4 weeks of treatment)

Study Arms (2)

Graston technique

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group received Graston technique (IASTM) , in additional to traditional treatment (ROM exercise, strengthening exercise, and stretching exercise) 3 times per week for 1 month

Device: Graston technique (IASTM)

Kinesio taping

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group B includes 26 patients who received Kinesiotaping, in addition to traditional treatment (ROM exercise, strengthening exercise, and stretching exercises) 2 times per week for 1 month

Other: Kinesio taping
