Abstract
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common muscle condition characterized by a form of musculoskeletal pain [1]. MPS occurs when a muscle is in repetitive contractions due to continuous movements due to work, exercise or stress [2]. It results in the formation of sensitive tight muscle fibers in the muscle, these sensitive points are called pain trigger points [3]. Clinical symptoms presented by patients due to the syndrome are muscle spasm from trigger points, referred pain, and a hyperirritable nodule in the muscle [4]. The trapezius muscle, especially its upper part, often shows trigger points, resulting in pain and reduced range of motion in the area [5].
