Brief Summary   AIM- To find out the effect of dry Needling on pain among young adults with myofascial trigger point. RELEVANCE OF STUDY-  Myofascial trigger point leads to pain at the back of the neck, muscle spasm, shoulder pain , tingling or numbness in one or both arms and also decrease in the range of motion of shoulder and neck .There  are  many treatment plans available including pharmacological  interventions  such  as  non-steroidal anti-inflammatory  and  pain-modulating therapies. Dry needling is a minimally invasive method which could be used for the treatment of MTrPs (myofasical trigger points). However, the effect of dry needling had been studied, but such studies have been insufficiently studied in upper and middle fibers of trapezius. Hence, the purpose of this study was  to find out the effect of dry needling in adults with myofascial trigger points of upper & middle fibers of trapezius. METHODOLOGY- In this pre-post experimental study 56 young adults with trapezius myofascial trigger point were selected according to inclusion & exclusion criteria. Pre & Post pain intensity analysis was done using numerical pain rating scale (NPRS). The dry needling was given to patients with trapezius myofascial trigger point & the result were recorded before, immediately & after 24 hrs of treatment respectively.
