The purpose of this study is to find out the results of TENS, Ultrasound, Cryotherapy vs Kinesio-Taping on trigger points in the upper trapezius. AIM: The purpose of this study is to find out which of the two treatment procedures is more effective in treatment of myofascial trigger points in upper trapezius region. Methods: Study will be conducted on 30 patients following the inclusion and exclusion criteria with myofascial trigger. Patients will be divided into two groups randomly. Group A is treated with TENS, Cryotherapy and Ultrasound and Group B is treated with Cryotherapy and Ultrasound & Kinesio-Taping (X-shape) Results: Kinesio Taping, combined with Ultrasound and Cryotherapy, significantly reduces neck pain more effectively than TENS, Ultrasound, and Cryotherapy. Higher mean differences and effect sizes in VAS and Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire scores highlight the superior efficacy of Kinesio Taping for managing neck pain and associated symptoms in patients. Conclusion: From the above findings we can conclude that Kinesio Taping is more effective than TENS in reducing neck pain and related symptoms across all questionnaires. The higher mean differences in the Kinesio Taping group suggest a greater improvement in the condition of the patients Keywords: Cryotherapy, Kinesio-taping, Myofascial Trigger point, TENS, Ultrasound, Upper trapezius.
