Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a 50% reduction in pain level measured by the Visual Analog Pain Scale and Algometry (INSTRUTERM® portable digital dynamometer, 0 to 5 KgF scale with RS-232, model DD-500, by compression medium) in the pistonage group, 30% in the static group and 5% in the placebo group, after 5 minutes of technique application ;A 15% increase in cervical range of motion through fleximetry in the piston group, 10% in the static group and 5% in the placebo group, after 5 minutes of technique application; A 50% increase in trigger point temperature measured by photothermography (FLIR model C2 camera) is expected to occur in the piston group, 30% in the static group and 5% in the placebo group after 5 minutes of technique application—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome is expected to be maintained within 48 hours of applying the technique.—
