| Core Tip |
This is the first study to compare the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) vs extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on trigger points (TrPs) of the upper trapezius (UT) muscle in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). The current study’s results revealed no statistically significant differences between the effect of IASTM and ESWT on pain intensity and pain pressure threshold of UT muscle TrPs. However, IASTM or ESWT improved pain measures in both groups of patients suffering from MPS. Based on these results, treatment methods are selected based on availability, cost, therapist experience, and patient preference. |
