To determine the immediate effects of cervical spine manipulation on pressure pain sensitivity on upper trapezius trigger point. it was a randomized control trial including 66 patients at physiotherapy OPD of railway rehabilitation center from August 2019 to December 2019, Railway General Hospital Pakistan and Max Rehab and decompression center Max health Hospital G8 Islamabad. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups (group control and experimental) by free envelope method.
To determine the immediate effects of cervical spine manipulation on pressure pain sensitivity on upper trapezius trigger point and neck ranges of motion. A randomized control trial of 66 patients was conducted from August 2019 to December 2019 at physiotherapy OPD of railway rehabilitation center, Railway General Hospital Pakistan and Max Rehab and decompression center Maxhealth Hospital G8 Islamabad. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups (group control and experimental) by free envelope method. Control was treated with Manual Pressure release followed by stretching while in experimental received cervical spine manipulation (chin hold) kaltenborn followed by stretching. Structural questionnaire was used for pre and post assessment. Outcomes were measured by algometry and inclinometer before and after the application of respective techniques. The data was analyzed at baseline and immediately after the intervention on IBM SPSS-21.

| changes from the baseline in Algometer values | It is a device used to identify the pressure and force eliciting a pressure pain threshold. The hand held algometer 1 cm round rubber surface which applies force and display for readings in newtons or kilograms.Sustained force is usually applied at the right angle to the soft tissue. Estimated pressure application rates have ranged from 0.05 to 20N/s. it has a high validity and reliability for measuring pain pressure threshold in patients of myofascial trigger points. | Baseline and 3 weeks |
| changes from the baseline in Inclinometer values | It is a device used to measure neck ranges of motion. | Baseline and 3 weeks |
