520 _aThe purpose of this study was to compare the effect of low level laser against stripping massage on upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome. Thirty patients with upper trapezius myofascial trigger points (15 males and 15 females), with age ranged from 20 to 30 years old participated in this study. They were assigned into three equal groups each one has 10 patients: Group A received low level laser and stretching exercise for 4 sessions. Group B received stripping massage and stretching exercise for 4 sessions. Group C (control group) received stretching exercise for 4 sessions. Pressure algometry, neck disability index and visual analogue scale were used to evaluate patients before and after application of low level laser, stripping massage and stretching exercise after 4 sessions. Statistical analysis revealed that there was a significant increase in pressure pain threshold, decrease in pain level and function post treatment with low level laser, stripping massage and stretching exercise in the three groups. At post treatment, the between group analysis revealed a significant difference between groups in the favor of group B for PPT (A 233.33%, B 338.18% and C 57.4%), VAS - A 71.835%, B 78.48% and C 29.72% and NDI A 47.16%, B 68.24% and C 25.73%
