Overview

TO Investigate the effect of high intensity laser versus ischemic compression on myofascial trigger points on neck pain, cervical range of motion,pressure pain thershold and cervical disability and to show that the more effectivness therapy will provide significant clinical value

Randomized controlled Trial , participants will be assigned into three groups (study group A ,study group B and study group c ) Subject selection will be 63 subjects , 21 subjects in each group with trigger points in the upper trapezius. Groups

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

cervical range of motion (CROM)

All the cervical active movements will be measured by cervical range of motion device (CROM) especially in cervical flexion ,extension and medial and lateral rotation.one tester will document the results. cervical range of motion (cROM) will be measured by using Electronic CROM Goniometer in all ranges.

Time frame: 30 seconds

Secondary Outcomes

cervical pain

Cervical pain will be measured by Cervical range of motion device (CROM) .The patient will actively perform cervical movements in flexion ,extension and medial and lateral rotation then one tester will document the results as VAS will be used to measure pain levels .The VAS is a 10\_cm line divided into 10 equal sections , with 10 expressing "unbearable pain " and 0 indicating no pain .each patient will be asked to point on this line to their level of neck pain .as pain level decreases ,the patient state improves. Pain will be assessed before and after treatment.

Time frame: one minute
