Brief Summary

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Graston technique versus Kinesiotaping on myofascial pain syndrome after neck dissection surgery.

Detailed Description

Fifty two patients from both genders who had cervical Myofascial pain syndrome following a neck dissection surgery participated in this Study. Their ages ranged from 30 to 50 years. They had been selected from the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University. They were assigned randomly into two groups (A) and (B), equal in number. Group (A) received Graston technique (IASTM), in addition to traditional treatment (range of motion exercises, stretching exercises and strengthening exercises) for 12 Sessions performed in a period of 4 weeks (three times weekly). While Group (B) Received kinesiotaping, in addition to traditional treatment (range of motion exercises, stretching exercises and strengthening exercises) for 8 sessions performed in a period of 4 weeks (twice weekly). Pressure pain threshold, visual analogue scale and cervical lateral flexion and rotation were measured pre and post 4 weeks of treatment.
