A Randomized Controlled Trial to Study the Efficacy of Low Level Laser Therapy Combined with Ischemic Compression in the Treatment of Latent Myofascial Trigger Points

A myofascial trigger point (MtrP) is a hyperirritable area in a skeletal muscle that contain hyperirritable taut palpable bands located within a skeletal muscle that is painful on compression or stretch and that can give a typical referred pain pattern as well as autonomic phenomena. There are two main types of trigger points active and latent. Both trigger points become activated by variety of stimuli, including poor posture, overuse, or muscle imbalance[1].Active trigger points cause patient related pain symptoms that are local an
