Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A
In addition to Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) (typical,100 Hz, 20 mins), Infrared (7 mins), and Exercises (Cervical Stability Exercises through activation of deep neck flexors), patients received deep dry needling on active trigger points in selected muscles (upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and sternocleidomastoid ), 3 sessions/week, for 4 weeks period.
Deep dry needling
Method to decrease pain and improve function in musculoskeletal disorders.
Group B
In addition to Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) (typical,100 Hz, 20 mins), Infrared (7 mins), and Exercises (Cervical Stability Exercises through activation of deep neck flexors), patients received muscle energy technique (post isometric relaxation) in selected muscles (upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and sternocleidomastoid ), 3 sessions/week, for 4 weeks period.
Muscle energy technique
