The researcher gives a special code or number to each participant. Then he writes down the number of each of them on a small piece of paper or cardboard; Then he pours them into a bag or container and stirs them. Then he takes out the beads one by one, writes down their number, and continues until he chooses a number equal to the sample size. Opaque envelopes are also used to conceal randomization allocation, Blinding description: None of the participants will know about the type of intervention. N/A Myofascial pain syndrome. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Capacitive Tecar is used for 10 minutes with a frequency of 600 kHz and resistive Tecar is used for 10 minutes with a frequency of 450 kHz. Intensity in both types of massage is 10-12 watts for an area of 28.2 square centimeters, on the trigger point of the upper trapezius muscle, for 10 sessions. Intervention 2: Intervention group: A high-power laser with a wavelength of 810 and 980 nm, a power of 15 watts, a frequency of 20 to 100 kHz and a duty cycle of 20 to 50% is used on the trigger point of the upper trapezius muscle for 10 sessions. Intervention 3: Control group: Routine physiotherapy includes: 20 minutes of low-frequency TENS, 15 minutes of infrared on the trapezius muscle, and exercise therapy (including neck stabilization exercises and passive stretching of the trapezius muscle). Undecided - It is not yet known if there will be a plan to make this available Justification or reason for indecision in sharing IPD is No more information
