Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of Myofascial Trigger Release Technique versus Muscle Energy Technique on muscle activity and pain among individuals with Text Neck Syndrome
Methodand Materials: A total of 112 subjects with Text neck syndrome were selected using simple random sampling technique from Saveetha medical college and hospital based on inclusion and exclusion criteria after which detailed study procedure were explained to patients and written informed consent were obtained. The participants age from 18 to 30 years and both male and female gender had been diagnosed with Text neck syndrome. The 56 individuals in each group into two groups. The experimental group (Myofascial trigger release technique) Control group (Muscle energy technique) for both groups pretest results from, EMG and pressure algometer were documented. Treatment intervention consisted of 4 weeks with 3 sessions per week.

Findings: On comparing pre-test and post-test within experimental group & control group on EMG and Pressure algometer score shows highly significant difference in mean values at P ≤ 0.0001.

Conclusion: The study concluded that the myofascial trigger release technique was more effective than muscle energy technique.
