Abstract Introduction. Pathological muscle tone can cause changes in the facial skeleton, including tension headaches, tinnitus, temporomandibular joint dysfunctions. The complexity of pathologies and their spectrum may also indicate changes beyond the facial skeleton. The aim of the study was to determine the possible correlation between the pressure pain threshold of the trapezius muscle and the bioelectrical tension on the masticatory muscles. Aim. The aim of the study was to determine the possible correlation between the pressure pain threshold of the trapezius muscle and the bioelectric tension on the masticatory muscles. Material and methods. The number of 36 women applied for the study. They were all examined using an algometer within a trapezius muscle to determine the pressure pain threshold. The electromyographic study was carried out in accordance with the SENIAM guidelines. The resting activity of selected masticatory muscles (temporal and masseter) was recorded for 10 sec. The study involved an 8-channel BioEMG IIITM surface electromyography apparatus with BioPak Measurement System (BioResearch Associates, Inc. Milwaukee, WI, USA). Statistical analysis was carried out using the r-Pearson test. The level of significance was set at 5%. Results. After comparing the bioelectric tension of the masticatory muscles and the pressure pain threshold, left-sided correlation was observed (p<0.05). Both in the right-hand and general comparison, the results did not reach the required level of statistical significance (p>0.05). Conclusions. The pressure pain threshold seems to be linked to the bioelectrical muscle tone of the masticatory muscles. To confirm this observation, further research into a larger and more diverse group of participants is recommended.

Background and Objective: Trigger point is a hypersensitive spot in a taut band of skeletal muscles, it has intense pain while compression, producing movement and any alterations. Trapezius is the common muscle always develop trigger point, although various management exist in managing the trigger point still there are lot of scope in the research. So far, there are no studies on combining IRR with ischemic compression. The objective of the study was to identify the effect of ischemic compression and infrared radiation on myofascial trigger point of trapezius muscle with neck pain patients. Material and Methods: 60 patients were included for the study using experimental study design, they were recruited following due consideration of the selection criteria. First group is an experimental group, which receives IRR along with Ischemic compression therapy for 20 minutes. Second group is control group receives only IRR with gentle neck stretches for 20 minutes. All patient was advised to follow home advices and instructions given by the therapist through the period of the treatment. Written consent was obtained from every individual participant. The study duration was six months and the individual patient underwent 8 weeks. Study identifies two measures as an outcome, which are pain using numerical pain scale and trigger using pressure pain threshold. Results: Blinded assessor is used to identify the data’s collected from the patient during the initial visit and at the last visit by the participant. All the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0. The result of the study shows that pain scale was 9.72 (p<0.001) and PPT was 12.25 (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study concluded that ischemic compression with infrared radiation therapy in myofascial trigger point of trapezius muscle in neck pain patients and it also significantly reduces the pain as well as the Pressure pain threshold.
