Clinical Trial Summary

Aim of this study is to investigate effectiveness of myofascial releasing on neck pain related to trigger points located on upper cervical region.


Clinical Trial Description

Neck pain is the second most common musculoskeletal pain after lumbar pain. Prevalence is 27.2% female and 17.4% in male population. Approximately 1/3 of acute onset neck aches become chronic. It causes increasing the cost of treatment and also the loss of labor.

Myofascial pain is usually considered caused by myofascial trigger points. The trigger points in the neck muscles have been associated with a possible source of referred facial and cranial pain. Mechanical neck pain is a non-radicular pain caused by local musculoskeletal structures and is characterized by a spasm of the cervical muscles. Posture, emotional stress, cold and fatigue are etiologic causes, and pain is also reflected to the cervical, occipital and scapular regions depending on the severity of muscle spasm and the presence of trigger point in myofascial pain syndrome.

Myofascial releasing is a specific type of passive soft tissue mobilization. Triggers points often considered as a pathology that occurs after excessive load or trauma on soft tissue which disturbs blood circulation. Fascial restriction can be found with triggers points and taut band.

In this study effects of myofascial release on triggers points will be investigated. ;
