The purpose of the study is to find the effects of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on upper trapezius trigger points in patients with non specific neck pain. A randomized control trial was conducted at Iqbal hospital. The sample size was 24calculated through open-epitool.But 30 patients were added in the study to increase the statistical power of analysis.The participants were divided into two interventional groups each having 15 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was Purposive sampling for recruitment and group randomization using sealed envelope method. Only 25 to 45 years participants (both male and female) with upper trapezius trigger points and non specific neck pain of less than 3 months were included in the study. Tools that were used in this study are NDI questionnaire, NPRS and inclinometer. Data was collected at baseline , 2nd and 4th of treatment. Data was analyzed through SPSS version 20.
