Comparison of Three Different Myofascial Trigger Point Treatments in Chronic Non-Specific Neck Pain

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of ischaemic compression (IC), positional relaxation (Strain Counterstrain \[SCS\]), and integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT) applications on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, range of motion, joint position sense, disability, kinesiophobia, quality of life and patient satisfaction in addition to conventional treatment for chronic non-specific neck pain. It is planned to include 51 patients in the study. The included patients will be divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (HR Group), Group 2 (SCS Group) and Group 3 (INIT Group). All three groups will receive a conventional physiotherapy programme 5 times a week for 4 weeks and the same exercise programme 3 days a week for 4 weeks.
