Abstract
OBJECTIVES
To compare the effects of active soft tissue therapies versus Graston technique in chronic neck pain patients with latent trigger point of upper trapezius muscle.
METHODS
Design of the study was randomized clinical study. Forty-five female chronic neck pain patients with latent myofascial trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle were randomly assigned into equal groups of 15 subjects. Group (A) received stretching exercise and active soft tissue therapy, group (B) received stretching exercise and Graston technique and group (C) received stretching exercise only. Pain pressure threshold and cervical ranges of motions were obtained before and after treatment in each group.
RESULTS
Mixed MANOVA revealed that there was a significant interaction of treatment and time (F [14, 72] = 8.97, p = .001). There was a significant main effect of time (F [7, 36] = 699.15 p = .001). There was a significant main effect of treatment (F [14, 72] = 5.34, p = .001). Within-group comparison revealed a significant increase in PPT and cervical ROM in the three groups post treatment compared with that pretreatment (p < .001). Between groups comparisons pretreatment revealed a no significant difference in all parameters (p > .05). Comparison between groups post treatment revealed a significant increase in PPT and cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation toward affected and non-affected side of group A and B compared with that of group C (p < .01). While there was no significant difference in in PPT and all cervical ROM between group A and B post treatment (p > .05).
CONCLUSION
The current study does not support the efficacy of IASTM in increasing pain pressure threshold and range of motion in chronic neck pain patients with latent trigger point of upper trapezius muscle when compared with other treatments.
期刊介绍：
Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
