Background: Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a condition causing pain at myofascial trigger points. Kinesio Taping has been widely used to decrease pain and improve range of motion. Objective: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic programs that include kinesio taping on reducing myofascial pain syndrome symptoms. Methods: Independent research was performed for legit studies using the following electronic databases: PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, SPORT Discus, EM base, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, from February 2017 to March 2017. The keywords were “keniso tape myofascial” AND “taping myofascial” AND “myofascial pain Syndrome” AND “myofascial trigger points.” The research resulted in 5,793 articles that eventually included 6 articles that had met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the data extracted data from the articles was about the pain severity, and was measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Results: The collected data was pooled from the results of 256 subjects (199 females and 57 males). Using KT showed improvement but not significant statistically in three of the analyzed studies, and the remaining three studies showed a statistical significant reduction in VAS score. The overall P value that computed by the European Scientific Journal February 2018 edition Vol.14, No.6 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 337 Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 2.0 software was statistically significant (P value= 0.001) between the KT group and the control group. Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed on six studies in regarding to the efficacy of KT on the myofascial pain in the upper trapezius muscle. The meta-analysis suggests KT with other therapeutic protocols to treat myofascial pain syndrome and increase cervical range of motion as well as the functional activities.

ABSTRACT``Myofascial pain syndrome in upper trapezius muscle is a muscle pain that implicated by one or somemyofascial trigger points in upper trapezius muscle. Working with static position in long time stimulating the presence ofmyofascial trigger points that causing pain and movement limitation of the neck that stimulate neck disability. Physicaltherapy’s intervention for reducing pain in this case could be integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique or contractrelax stretching combined with ultrasound modality. Purpose: to compare the both interventions in reducing neckdisability of myofascial pain syndrome in upper trapezius muscle. Method: this was an experimental study withRandomized Pre and Post Test Group Design. Samples were divided into 2 treatment group that consist 12 samplesfor each group. The first group treated with integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique with ultrasound while thesecond group treated with contract relaxes stretching with ultrasound. The data was collected by measuring neck rangeof motion using goniometer at the time before and after treatment. Result: the 1st group showed that the Neck ROMincrease 5.083±1.0840 (p<0.001) and the 2nd group showed that the Neck ROM increase 3.333±0.7780(p<0.001). Itmeans there were significant effect of each treatment in both groups. The results of independent t-test showed p<0.001,so that there was significant difference of increased Neck ROM between these groups. The result of independent t-testshowed p value 0.001, so there was significant difference between two groups at increasing neck ROM. Conclusion:combination integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique is more effective than contract relax stretching to ultrasoundmodality in increasing neck range of motion of myofascial syndrome in upper trapezius muscle.Keywords: myofascial, neck disability, trapezius, INIT, ultrasound, stretching

Background Taping is a widely used therapeutic tool for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, nevertheless its effectiveness is still uncertain. Purpose The purpose of this study was to conduct a current review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning the effects of elastic and nonelastic taping on spinal pain and disability. Data Sources MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PEDro, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge, and SPORTDiscus databases were searched. Study Selection All published RCTs on symptomatic adults with a diagnosis of specific or nonspecific spinal pain, myofascial pain syndrome, or whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) were considered. Data Extraction Two reviewers independently selected the studies and extracted the results. The quality of individual studies was assessed using the PEDro scale, and the evidence was assessed using GRADE criteria. Data Synthesis Eight RCTs were included. Meta-analysis of 4 RCTs on low back pain demonstrated that elastic taping does not significantly reduce pain or disability immediately posttreatment, with a standardized mean difference of −0.31 (95% confidence interval=−0.64, 0.02) and −0.23 (95% confidence interval=−0.49, 0.03), respectively. Results from single trials indicated that both elastic and nonelastic taping are not better than placebo or no treatment on spinal disability. Positive results were found only for elastic taping and only for short-term pain reduction in WAD or specific neck pain. Generally, the effect sizes were very small or not clinically relevant, and all results were supported by low-quality evidence. Limitations The paucity of studies does not permit us to draw any final conclusions. Conclusion Although different types of taping were investigated, the results of this systematic review did not show any firm support for their effectiveness.

Background: Myofascial Pain Upper trapezius muscle syndrome is a condition of both acute and chronic pain from muscle or fascia involving sensory, motoric, or autonomic functions. Myofascial pain can be local or regional, such as the neck, shoulders, usually unilateral or more severe in one side. Objective: To prove Ultrasound and Muscle Energy Technique Interventions to reduce neck disability more than Ultrasound and Myofascial Release Technique Interventions in the case of Myofascial Pain Syndrome Upper Trapezius muscle in Denpasar. Method: This study uses the Randomized Pre-test method and the Design Group Post Test Control. This study used 36 subjects divided into 2 groups, First Treatment Group with Ultrasound and Muscle Energy Technique and II Treatment Group with Ultrasound and Myofascial Release Technique. The two treatment groups were given treatment for 4 weeks. The measuring instrument used for neck disability is the Neck Disability Index (NDI). Results: The results of the independent t-test which showed the results of the calculation of the difference in mean neck disability obtained p = 0.372 (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Ultrasound intervention and muscle energy technique further reduced neck disability than an ultrasound intervention and myofascial release technique in the case of myofascial pain syndrome upper trapezius muscleKeywords: Myofascial Pain Syndrome, upper trapezius muscle, Ultrasound, muscle energy technique, myofascial release technique, Neck Disability Index.

ABSTRACTMyofascial pain syndrome is a collection of sensory, motor, and autonomic symptoms that cause local andreffered pain, limited range of motion and weakness of the affected muscles. The limitations range of motion will beannoying than the daily activities. Interventions that can improve range of motion of cervikal are IntegratedNeuromuscular Inhibition Technique, Deep Tissue Massage and Contract-Relax Stretching. The results show GroupNeuromuscular Inhibition Technique with Wilcoxan Sign Rank Test obtained a mean difference of 13.7 with p = 0.000,while the test results Hypothesis Group Contract-Relax Stretching with Paired Sample T-test showed a mean differenceof 12.1 with p = 0.000. Test the difference between Mann Whitney U-test showed no significant difference between theother group are obtained p = 0.420. These results indicate that there is no difference in increasing range of motion inboth groups.Keywords: Range of motion of cervical, Upper Trapezius Muscle,Myofascial Pain Syndrome, IntegratedNeuromuscular Inhibition Technique, Deep Tissue Massage, Contract-relax Stretching, Goniometer
