Clinical Trial: Immediate Effects of Strain Counterstrain Versus Fascial Distortion Model on Upper Trapezius Latent Trigger Points

U.S., Jan. 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07368426) titled 'Immediate Effects of Strain Counterstrain Versus Fascial Distortion Model on Upper Trapezius Latent Trigger Points' on Jan. 18.

Brief Summary: This pilot study aimed to compare the immediate effects of two manual therapy techniques, strain counterstrain (SCS) and the fascial distortion model (FDM), on pain-related outcomes and neuromuscular function in individuals with latent myofascial trigger points of the upper trapezius muscle. Twenty healthy adults with identified latent trigger points were randomly assigned to receive a single session of either SCS or FDM. Cervical range of motion, proprioception, pressure pain threshold, and ...
