“…Furthermore, MET plays an important role in increasing range of motion by changes in muscle extensibility -reflex relaxation, viscoelastic change and stretch changes [32,35]. [14]. It was reported that the role of KT in the management of MPS needs more randomized clinical trials to interpret its effect [19].…”

“…The most widespread management approaches that are used for handling of this points are needling therapies [6], Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition (INIT) [7], Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) [7], Strain Counter Strain (SCS) [8], LASER [9], Ischemic Compression (IC) [10], Kinesiotape (KT) [11] and spray and stretch technique [12]. The efficacy of INIT in the management of subjects with excitable points reported in many trials [9,13,14]. It was supposed that the refinement in pain intensity, function and range of motion due to the increased blood supply by intermittent pressure, muscle relaxation by SCS and tone reduction by MET.…”

Background: This study was designed to inspect the effects of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT) and kinesiotape (KT) on upper trapezius myofascial trigger points.Methods: Sixty subjects with active trigger points (53 females and seven males) were divided haphazardly into three equal groups. Group "A" received INIT three times/week while group "B" received KT twice per week for four weeks. Group "C" (control group) didn't receive any treatment but follow instructions. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Arabic Neck disability index (ANDI) and cervical range of motion (CROM) were used to evaluate subjects at two intervals (pretreatment and post-treatment).Results: Statistical analysis shown that there was a significant change within-group of VAS, ANDI, side bending at both side pre-post treatment at groups A, B and C while (p<0.05). Between-group analysis there was no significant change in pre value of all variables as (p>0.05) while post-treatment there was a significant change in all variables as (p<0.05). Conclusion:INIT and KT are most effective methods in the management of subjects with active trigger points at upper trapezius myofascial trigger points with superiority for INIT.

Background: Active myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are major pain generators in myofascial pain syndrome and have a significant impact on the quality of life, pain and functional disability in the neck. dry needling and integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique are two effective technique used in the treatment of active MTrPs. Objective: to compare between the effect of dry needling and integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on upper trapezius active MTrPs . Subjects and Methods: Thirty patients participated in the study and were assigned randomly into two equal groups; group (A) receieved dry needling and passive stretching exercise while group (B) received integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and passive stretching exercise .Measurment outcome included pressure pain threshold (PPT) which measured by digital electronic pressure algometer and neck functiona was measured by neck function disability index (NDI) and pain intensity was measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) that were taken at the beginning of the treatment period as pre-test measurement and at the end of the treatment period ( 3weeks) as a post-test measurement. Results: Both groups showed significant improvement in PPT, NDI and VAS post treatment compared with that pre treatment (P < 0.001); however there was significant increase in PPT and significant decrease in NDI and VAS of group A compared with that of group B post treatment (p < 0.001). Conclusion:According to the findings of the study dry needling was more effective than integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on the management of upper trapezius active myofascial trigger points.
