Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the effect of friction and interference on decreasing pain of people with myofascial pain syndrome. The study was conducted at the Mabbulo Sibatang Clinic and Physio Health Care Clinic, involving 26 subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects were randomly assigned into two groups, intervention group 1 was given friction, and intervention group 2 was given interference. Both group were treated three times a week for two weeks. Measurements were performed using the numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain. results showed that there were significant differences (p <0.05; CI = 95%) in terms of NRS score between the intervention group 1 and intervention group 2. The research result showed that friction is more effective on decreasing pain compared to interference.
