520 _aObjective: This study was performed to investigate the effect of different carrier frequencies of interferential current (IFC) on upper trapezius myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). Methods: Sixty-eight participants (45 females and 23 males) having upper trapezius latent MTrPs were randomly assigned into four equal groups. Group A received standard treatment and IFC with carrier frequency 2 KHz, Group B received standard treatment and IFC with carrier frequency 4 KHz, Group C received standard treatment and IFC with carrier frequency 8 KHz and Group D received standard treatment and placebo IFC. The standard treatment consisted of active cervical range of motion (ROM), stretching exercises and postural correction exercises. Outcome measures were pressure pain threshold (PPT) that was measured by pressure gauge algometer, active cervical ROM that was measured by clinometer application, electrical activity of upper trapezius muscle that was measured by surface electromyography, and neck function that was measured by Arabic neck disability index. Measurements were recorded before and immediately after the end of the treatment program. Results: There were statistical significant differences in in all measured variables in the four groups post treatment compared with pretreatment (p values were 0.001). Higher improvement in all measured variables was recorded in the study groups who received IFC plus standard treatment compared to the control group whereas the superiority of results was in favor of the group who received IFC with carrier frequency 2 kHz. The improvement was evident in PPT, cervical extension, cervical lateral flexion toward untreated side and cervical rotation to the treated side (p value = 0.001, 0.013, 0.001, 0.001 respectively). Conclusion: Adding IFC to the standard treatment was effective in the management of subjects having upper trapezius latent MTrPs with superiority for IFC with carrier frequency 2 kHz.
