Thoracic Spine Manipulation on Pressure Pain Sensitivity of Active Myofascial Trigger Points in Rhomboid Muscle

Trigger Points Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effects of Thoracic Spine Manipulation on Pressure Pain Sensitivity of Active Myofascial Trigger Points in Rhomboid Muscle

Clinical Trial Summary

This study intends to determine the effects of thoracic manipulation on pressure pain sensitivity in patients with rhomboid active trigger points.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a single blinded controlled trial and will be conducted at physiotherapy clinic of women institute of rehabilitation sciences Abbottabad. The "screw" manipulation is a fairly aggressive manipulative technique in which the transverse processes are forced into a posterior to anterior direction Individual will be screened out according to inclusion criteria. Individuals will be allocated randomly into two groups, 30 in thoracic manipulation group and 30 in conventional physiotherapy protocol group by sealed envelope method. Both groups will receive conventional physiotherapy protocol (manual pressure release technique and muscle imbalances exercises) for rhomboid trigger points in common and the experimental group will receive thoracic manipulation in addition to conventional protocol.

Assessment will be done on baseline and after 3 weeks. Data will be analyzed on SPSS version 21. ;
