Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In our study 108 myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) diagnosed patients will be randomly divided into 3 groups. To groups; exercise, exercise+high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and exercise+dry needling will be applied. Visual anolog scale (VAS) scores and neck range of motion (ROM) of the patients before-after treatment will be recorded and will be evaluated statistically.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
exercise
All patients in all three groups will perform 15 sessions (for 3 weeks, weekdays), cervical area isometric strengthening exercises, active ROM exercises and stretching exercises for 15 minutes a day with the same physiotherapist.
No interventions assigned to this group
exercise+HILT
In addition to the exercise program, randomly selected 36 case patients + HILT (BTL brand 6000 series, United Kingdom), to the cervical area, for the a period of 3 week-weekdays, 15-minute period and 15 sessions (1.02 minutes for each 25 cm² painful area, analgesic phase, with an anergy 8.0 W, a dose 5 J / cm², a frequency of 25 Hz and total 125 joules) will be applied.
high intensity laser therapy
High intensity laser therapy (HILT), one of the physical therapy methods, was approved by the FDA in 2002. Its beneficial and versatile effect has been proven in the treatment of many musculoskeletal diseases. In addition to the exercise program, randomly selected 36 case patients + HILT (BTL brand 6000 series, United Kingdom), to the cervical area, for the a period of 3 week-weekdays, 15-minute period and 15 sessions (1.02 minutes for each 25 cm² painful area, analgesic phase, with an anergy 8.0 W, a dose 5 J / cm², a frequency of 25 Hz and total 125 joules) will be applied.
exercise+dry needling
In addition to the exercise program, dry needling (on 3 trigger points on the bilateral trapezius muscle) will be applied to the other 36 randomly selected patients with an acupuncture needle with a size of 0.25x0.25 by the PMR specialist for a total of 6 sessions twice a week for 3 weeks.
dry needle
dry needling (on 3 trigger points on the bilateral trapezius muscle) will applied to the other 36 randomly selected patients with an acupuncture needle with a size of 0.25x0.25 by the PMR specialist for a total of 6 sessions twice a week for 3 weeks.
