Effect of conventional physiotherapy versus strain counter for trapezitis patients

On average 38.7% of the adult population experiences neck pain due to trapezitis. Therefore, it is of interest to determine the efficacy of strain-counterstain (SCS) technique in a treatment of trapezitis. 40 participants were randomly allocated to two groups, where group 1 received conventional physiotherapy treatment, while group 2 received the experimental SCS treatment program with 20 patients each. We found that, group 2 showed significant improvements in range of motion, pain and neck disability outcome scores. Thus, that SCS can be used as a low-cost and effective treatment for trapezitis.
