Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is no study in the literature comparing both kinesiotaping and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) with conventional physical therapy in upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome. In this study, we aimed to make this comparison.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment that involves delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

Intervention Type DEVICE

Device named 'Elettronica Pagani,Italy' and will be used with radial probe.

Kinesiotaping

The Kinesiotaping method is a therapeutic taping technique which alleviates pain.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Kinesiotaping

Intervention Type OTHER

Elastic band to be used to stretch the upper trapezius muscle in the desired direction.

Conventional Physical Therapy

Hotpack, therapeutic ultrasound and tens applications.
