Objective: To assess whether there is a distinction in the impact of neck exercises and myofascial release in alleviating pain among patients with neck pain in the upper trapezius muscle. Methodology: This research employs an experimental approach with a pre-test and post-test two-group design. A total of 16 participants were selected using a random sampling technique. The participants were divided into two groups, with 8 individuals in each group. The first group received neck exercises as treatment, while the second group underwent myofascial release. The exercise regimen was conducted over a period of 2 weeks, with a frequency of 3 sessions per week. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was utilized as the measurement tool, and the normality of the data was assessed using the Shapiro-Will test. The homogeneity of the groups was examined using Lavene's test. Hypothesis testing, I and II were conducted using paired sample t-tests, while hypothesis testing III employed an independent sample t-test. Conclusion: The findings indicate that there is no significant distinction in the impact of neck exercises and myofascial release in reducing pain among patients with neck pain in the upper trapezius muscle.
