Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of one session thoracic manipulation on pressure pain threshold and rhomboid muscle strength in healthy individuals with latent trigger point.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Within the scope of the study, all individuals studying at Sarayköy Vocational School and volunteering to participate in the study will be screened.Immediately after determining the latent trigger points in the rhomboid muscles, the participants will be randomized by computer method and divided into 2 groups. Participants who underwent thrust thoracic manipulation will form the study group, and participants who received sham thrust thoracic manipulation will form the control group.Pressure pain threshold will be evaluated with an algometer and rhomboid muscle strength will be evaluated with a hand dynamometer.

Outcome Assessors
All these evaluations will be carried out by a blind evaluator who does not know which group the participants belong to.

Study Groups

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

Thrust manipulation Group

Participants undergoing thrust manipulation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Thrust manipulation

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will be positioned prone and the clinician will perform a high-speed, low-amplitude thrust into the most symptomatic segment of the thoracic spine. TM type, thrust direction, and number of thrusts will be at the clinician's discretion and will be based on the individualized assessment of the patient.

Sham thrust manipulation group

Participants undergoing sham thrust manipulation

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham thrust manipulation

Intervention Type OTHER

The same protocol will be applied as the push thoracic manipulation application, but no push will be applied.
