Trigger points are sensitive points in the skeletal muscle and neck muscles that cause referral pain, decrease the range of motion and muscle soreness. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of the Positional Release Technique with and without strain-counter strain technique on the pain, neck range of motion in men with active trigger points in upper trapezius muscle. The target community included the employees of the Mellat bank of Tehran city, which had trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle, ageing from 30 to 60 years old. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. The first group received a Positional Release Technique with strain-counter strain technique and the second group received only a Positional Release Technique. Each group received five treatment sessions. Pain was assessed on the basis of Visual analogue scale (VAS) and neck range of motion by goniometer before and 48 hours after treatment. The statistical methods used included two way ANOVA. There was a significant difference in pain severity and neck range of motion after intervention in both groups (P <0.005). Compared to the two groups after the treatment, there was a significant difference in the severity of pain as well as the neck range of motion (P <0.005), in the other words More improvements were achieved in Positional Release Technique with strain-counter strain technique group. Positional Release Technique in two situations with and without strain-counter strain technique is effective in reducing pain and improving the neck motion in people with trigger points of upper trapezius muscle. A Positional Release Technique combined with strain-counter strain technique was more effective in reducing pain and increasing the neck range of motion compared with the Positional Release Technique group.

Myofascial trigger point(MTP) is one of the main causes of musculoskeletal disorders.The latent type of this point is relevant with different of this disorders.Upper trapezius muscle is probably most involved by MTP.The main purpose of this study was to compare the effect of Pressure Release(PR) and Dry Needling(DN) on the treatment of latent trigger point of upper trapezius muscle. Method and Material: forty subjects with diagnosis of latent upper trapezius MTP participated in this study.Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups(PR and DN).DN group were treated 2 sessions per week and PR group were treated 3 sessions per week.the course of treatment was two weeks.Pain intensity,pain pressure threshold(PPT),active cervical range of motion(AROM)include lateral flextion and rotation in both side were assessed in every session.one-way mixed model ANOVA was used to investigate the effect of treatment and compare groups. Significant decrease of pain and increase of ROM and PPT after treatment in both group occurred(P>.001) and also DN group had better effect related to PR group in all parameters(P>.001). Although both of DN and PR are effective treatment for MTP but the effectiveness of DN Method may be more in PPT and ROM.
