Summary

This study compares three treatments—exercise, dry needling, and a newer injection called interfascial block—for people with long-lasting pain in the upper back muscle (trapezius). About 78 adults aged 18 to 55 with at least 3 months of pain will be assigned to one of the three groups. The goal is to see which treatment works best for reducing pain, improving movement, and boosting quality of life, both in the short and long term.
