Abstract

On average 38.7% of the adult population experiences neck pain due to trapezitis (TPZ). Therefore, it is of interest to determine the efficacy of strain-counterstain (SCS) technique in treatment of TPZ. 40 participants were randomly allocated to two groups, where group 1 received conventional physiotherapy treatment, while Group 2 received the experimental SCS treatment program with 20 patients each. We found that, group 2 showed significant improvements in range of motion, pain, and neck disability outcome scores. We conclude that, (SCS) can be used as a low-cost and effective treatment for TPZ.

Keywords
