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.

Introduction: A study shows the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in the elbow most often diagnosed with elbow and forearm conditions is tennis elbow. Tennis Elbow, a common disease that can cause a decrease in productivity and economic losses. Treatment of physiotherapy that can be given for myofascial syndrome can be therapeutic modalities such as Ultrasound and manual therapy such as Muscle Energy Technique (MET) and Myofascial Release Technique (MRT). Method: This is an experimental study with pre and post test control group design. The number of samples was 24 people, which divided into 2 groups. Group I was given MRT with ultrasound, while Group II was given MET with ultrasound. Disability is measured by the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Questionnaire. Results: Based on the results of the Paired Sample t-test in Group I and Group II the value of p <0.001 stated that there was a significant change after giving the exercise to each group. Furthermore, the comparison test between both groups used the independent sample t-test and p value <0.05. This shows that there are significant differences between groups. Conclusion: MRT further reduces disability due to tennis elbow compared to MET.Keywords: tennis elbow, disability, PRTEE, MET, MRT.
