Official title:
Effectiveness of Ultrasound Combine Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in Treatment of Upper Trapezius Myofascial Pain: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

To assess the effectiveness of therapeutic ultrasound combine transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and therapeutic ultrasound in treatment of myofascial pain syndrome in upper trapezius muscle measured by mean change between pre and post treatment of pressure pain threshold (PPT), patient's complaint in pain intensity and the number of total tablet usage of acetaminophen in both groups.
