| Abstract | The study aimed to compare the immediate effects of conventional ultrasound (Con-US) and high-power pain threshold ultrasound (HPPT-US) on pain and neck range of motion(ROM) in young Thai adults with active trigger points of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).Sixty participants were randomly allocated into two groups: Con-US (mean age 20.97ฑ1.16years) and HPPT-US (mean age 21.47ฑ1.28 years). Each group underwent a single ultra-sound session lasting 5 minutes. Parameters assessed pre- and post-treatment included painintensity, neck ROM, pressure pain threshold (PPT), and pressure pain tolerance (PPTo). Theaverage intensity dose for Con-US was 1.0 W/cm2, while for HPPT-US it was 0.83 W/cm2.Both techniques improved pain parameters, but there was no significant interactive effectbetween group and time. The single moderate-intensity session of HPPT-US may not have alasting impact on pain tolerance due to the lack of a cumulative effect. Further studies withincreased treatment sessions and higher intensity ultrasound are recommended.Keywords:High-power pain threshold ultrasound? Myofascial pain syndrome? Pressurepain threshold?
