The Synergistic Effects of Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique and Dry Cupping Therapy on Pain Modulation and Functional Recovery on Myofascial Trigger Points of Upper Trapezius
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Dry Cupping Therapy: The patients receive dry cupping therapy for 10 min on the marked trigger point using a plastic set with a hand vacuum pump
Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique: The patients receive the Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique, which consists of ischemic compression, strain-counterstrain, and muscle energy techniques.
stretching and strengthening exercises: The patients receive stretching and strengthening exercises
combined integrated neuromuscular inhibition, dry cupping and stretching and strengthening exercises: the patients recive all the three interventions
Study summary

Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Pain intensity — 0-4 weeks
pain intensity will be measured by visual analogue scale - pain pressure threshold — 0-4 weeks
The pressure algometer will measure the pain pressure threshold
