Integration of Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique On Trapezius Trigger Points.

The purpose of the study is to find the effects of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on upper trapezius trigger points in patients with non specific neck pain. A randomized control trial was conducted at Iqbal hospital. The sample size was 24calculated through open-epitool.But 30 patients were added in the study to increase the statistical power of analysis.The participants were divided into two interventional groups each having 15 participants.
