Daftar Isi:
  • ABSTRACTHeadache can be caused by increased tension in upper trapezius muscle. This headache is characterized bytrigger point and upper trapezius muscle tautband. The purpose of this study was to compare the positional releasetechnique and infrared interventions with contract relax stretching and infrared on the reduction of headache due toupper trapezius muscle tension. This study was experimental with pre and post-test group design designs of 24 peopledivided into two groups. Group 1 received positional release technique and infrared, while Group 2 received contractrelax stretching and infrared. The result of data analysis with paired sample t-test in Group 1 showed the average 2,242± 0,329 and p = 0,001, while Group 2 showed the average 2,225 ± 0,201 and p = 0,001. From the results of the analysisshowed in each group there is a significant reduction of pain. Based on independent samples test t-test between groups1 and 2 obtained p value = 0.882 (p> 0.05). It can be concluded that the positional release technique and infraredintervention has no significant difference as contract relax stretching and infrared to decreased headache due to uppertrapezius muscle tension.Keywords: Headache, upper trapezius muscle, positional release technique, contract relax stretching, infrared, VAS
  • ABSTRAKNyeri kepala dapat disebabkan oleh adanya peningkatan ketegangan pada otot upper trapezius. Nyeri kepalaini ditandai dengan adanya trigger point dan tautband otot upper trapezius. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untukmembandingkan antara intervensi positional release technique dan infrared dengan contract relax stretching daninfrared terhadap penurunan nyeri kepala akibat ketegangan otot upper trapezius. Penelitian ini adalah eksperimentaldengan rancangan pre dan post-test group design terhadap 24 orang yang dibagi ke dalam dua kelompok. Kelompok1 mendapatkan positional release technique dan infrared, sedangkan Kelompok 2 mendapatkan contract relaxstretching dan infrared. Hasil analisis data dengan paired sample t-test pada Kelompok 1 menunjukan rerata2,242±0,329 dan p=0,001, sedangkan Kelompok 2 menunjukan rerata 2,225±0,201 dan p=0,001. Dari hasil analisistersebut menunjukan pada tiap kelompok terdapat penurunan nyeri yang bermakna. Berdasarkan uji independentsamples t-test antara kelompok 1 dan 2 diperoleh nilai p=0,882 (p>0,05). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa intervensi positionalrelease technique dan infrared sama baik dengan contract relax stretching dan infrared terhadap penurunan nyerikepala akibat ketegangan otot upper trapezius.Kata Kunci: Nyeri kepala, otot upper trapezius, positional release technique, contract relax stretching, infrared, VAS
