Brief Summary

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

myofascial pain syndrome is considered to be a chronic condition due to sensitive pressure points within the muscle recognized as trigger points

Generally the aim of this study will be :

* To investigate the effectiveness of dry needling on trigger point in trapezius muscle
* Evaluate the pain level before and after the applications of dry needling on trigger points
* compare between the effects of dry needling and physical therapy exercise program
