Abstract
Myofascial pain syndrome is one among the common disorder in the world population. It is a common source of discomfort and disability for many patients. Myofascial pain is generated by Myofascial trigger points in muscle tissue. There are various studies conducted on the efficacy of Manual techniques and Physical therapy modalities to reduce pain due to Myofascial trigger points. The present study objective to assess and compare the effectiveness of Ischemic compression technique and Laser therapy on treating Myofascial pain syndrome. A randomized control study was conducted in the setting of Physiotherapy department of Vijayanagara Institute of Medical Sciences. A total of 40 subjects confirmed with unilateral Myofascial trigger points pain in the upper trapezius were selected for the study who were randomly allocated into group A (20 subjects) in which they received Low Level Laser Therapy and group B (20 subjects) in which they received Ischemic compression technique. The pretreatment VAS score was taken before applying the treatment in all the 6 sittings and post treatment VAS score was taken after applying the treatment in all the 6 sittings in both the groups. Inter group analysis showed that Group B was more effective than Group A in reducing pain as there was a statistically significant difference (P value <0.05) in the mean difference of VAS between the two treatment groups. Ischaemic compression technique was more effective than that of Low level Laser Therapy, in terms of reducing pain and number of sessions.
