DEVICE

extracorporeal shock wave and conventional treament

"Extracorporeal shock wave for 700 impulses of 0.056 mJ/mm at a frequency of 10 Hz to the taut band and 300 impulses surrounding the taut band will be applied as low energy 2 sessions per week for 2 weeks The will be used as a radial type of shock wave therapy.~Strengthening, stretching exercises and ischemic compression:~1. Isometric neck extensor exercise:~2. Isometric neck flexor exercise:~3. Isometric neck side bending muscle exercise:~Stretching exercise:~Passive stretching for the neck extensor muscles:~Passive stretching of the neck side-bending muscles:~Ischemic compression"

DEVICE

high pain threshold ultrasound and conventional treatment for myofascial pain syndrome trigger points

"will be applied in continuous mode, with the probe placed directly on the TrP and held motionless. To elicit threshold pain, the US probe will be kept static on the TrP. Intensity gradually will be increased to the level of maximum pain the patient could bear. It will be kept at that level for 3 to 4 seconds, then will be reduced to the half-intensity level for another 15 seconds. This procedure was repeated 3 times.the intensity of US will be dependent on the patient's level of pain. intensity will be applied in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 Watt per/cm2. Patients continually report their pain level and its localization and nature High-power pain threshold US will be applied 4 times, with a 3-day interval 2 sessions per week for 2 weeks .~1)Isometric neck extensor exercise2)Isometric neck flexor exercise3)Isometric neck side bending muscle exercise,Stretching exercise:Passive stretching for the neck extensor muscles ,stretching of the neck side-bending muscles,Ischemic compression"
