ABSTRACT Trapezitis is an inflammatory pain caused by the trapezius muscle that causes severe neck pain. Trapezius is a classic strain pain and the most common musculoskeletal disease. This is usually caused by excessive tension or tension in the trapezius muscle. The upper trapezius muscles are called postural muscles and are very sensitive to overload. Some studies show that shoulder and neck pain is more common in children and adolescents in developing countries. Therefore, identifying and understanding pain in childhood and adolescence is necessary to prevent such problems. STUDY PURPOSE: To compare between the efficacy of TENS with stretching and Ultrasound Therapy with STM in Trapezitis in school students. METHODOLOGY: Random sampling method was used in an experimental study with 30 school Students aged 15-18 years in one secondary school, Meerut, U.P. We excluded participants under 15 years of age. Patients are divided into 2 groups: GROUP A and GROUP B (15 students each). RESULT: Results were analyzed by t-test (paired and unpaired). All groups A and B completed all treatment sessions for 3 weeks, 3 days per week. Pre-intervention readings were recorded before starting the protocol, and post-intervention readings were also recorded. after all the protocol. The results showed that both groups were effective in reducing pain and disability in patients with trapezius, which is statistically significant; however, inter-group comparisons showed that group B had a statistically significant difference compared to group A in the reduction of pain and disability. CONCLUSION: When the post interventions were compared between the two groups ,the group which was treated with UST along with STM showed advantage over the group treated with TENS along with statics stretching. The difference between the effects was statistically significant.As a result we conclude that UST along with STM are more effective than TENS along with static stretching in reducing pain and improving functional disability in school going students with Trapezitis
