effects of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on pain threshold and pain intensity in patients with upper trapezius trigger points
Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 2018Co-Authors: Zahra Saadat, Ladan Hemmati, Soraya Pirouzi, Mahnaz Ataollahi, Fatemeh AlimohammadiAbstract:Abstract Introduction Upper trapezius trigger points are among the most common causes of neck pain. This study aimed to investigate the effects of integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT) on pain intensity and threshold. Materials & Methods Thirty two female participants with upper trapezius trigger points were recruited in this study. The participants were assigned to control (n = 16) or intervention (n = 16). The intervention group received INIT in one session, consisted of muscle energy technique, Ischemic Compression and strain-counter strain. Pain threshold and intensity were measured using Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) and Numerical Pain Scale (NPS). These measurements were performed at baseline, immediately after treatment and 24 h after treatment. Findings The results showed that pain intensity significantly decreased in the intervention group immediately after treatment (P = .01) and 24 h after treatment (P = .009) in comparison with the control group. There were no significant differences in pressure pain threshold between both groups. Conclusion It seems that Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique can reduce pain intensity in patients with upper trapezius trigger points.

the efficacy of an integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on upper trapezius trigger points in subjects with non specific neck pain a randomized controlled trial
Journal of Manual & Manipulative Therapy, 2010Co-Authors: Amit V Nagrale, Paul Glynn, Aakanksha Joshi, Gopichand RamtekeAbstract:AbstractCurrently, large levels of practice variability exist regarding the clinical deactivation of trigger points. Manual physical therapy has been identified as a potential means of resolving active trigger points; however, to date the ideal treatment approach has yet to be elucidated. The purpose of this clinical trial was to compare the effects of two manual treatment regimens on individuals with upper trapezius trigger points. Sixty patients, 19–38 years of age with non-specific neck pain and upper trapezius trigger points, were randomized into one of two, 4 week physical therapy programs. One group received muscle energy techniques while the second group received an integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT) consisting of muscle energy techniques, Ischemic Compression, and strain–counterstrain (SCS). Outcomes including a visual analog pain scale (VAS), the neck disability index (NDI), and lateral cervical flexion range of motion (ROM) were collected at baseline, 2 and 4 weeks after the in...

PEBEDAAN PENGARUH Ischemic Compression TECHNIQUE DAN SELF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN FUNGSIONAL PADA MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINT SYNDROME OTOT UPPER TRAPEZIUS
2019Co-Authors: Reswari ArdanaAbstract:Latar Belakang: Aktivitas penggunaan komputer/laptop yang tinggi di kalangan mahasiswa dengan durasi lebih dari 2-3 jam perhari dengan posisi statis serta ergonomi yang buruk jika dibiarkan terlalu lama akan menyebabkan perlengkapan pada Myofascial otot Upper Trapezius, yang dikenal dengan Myofascial Trigger Point Syndrome (MTPS). Hal ini dapat menyebabkan iskemik lokal dan terjadinya hipoksia jaringan di area taut band yang juga disebabkan oleh menumpuknya sisa metabolisme (akumulasi asam laktat) sehingga menimbulkan nyeri. Nyeri yang berkepanjangan dan tidak ditangani dengan baik akan menimbulkan penurunan fungsional. Tujuan: untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan diantara Ischemic Compression Technique dan Self Myofascial release dalam meningkatkan kemampuan fungsional pada Myofascial Trigger Point Syndrome otot Upper Trapezius. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan eksperimental dengan pre and post test two group design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Teknologi Informasi Universitas Jendral Achmad Yani Yogyakarta, total responden sebanyak 22 orang, dengan rincian kelompok 1 terdiri dari 11 orang diberikan perlakuan Self Myofascial Release (SMR) selama 4 minggu dengan frekuensi 3 kali seminggu. Pengukuran kemampuan fungsional dilakukan dengan Neck Disability Index (NDI),hasil penelitian dianalisis dengan menggunakan paired sample t-test pada kelompok I p=0,000 dan kelompok II p=0,000 (p
