AB  - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of 
      Positional Release Therapy (PRT) in computer users via latent trigger points 
      (LTrPs) of the upper trapezius muscle. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-eight women 
      with the upper trapezius MTrPs participated in this study. Subjects were randomly 
      classified into two groups (14 in each group): the subjects in the Group 1 
      received PRT in shortened position while those in the group 2 received sham 
      control in the neutral position of the upper trapezius muscle. They received 
      three therapy sessions every other day for one week. The local pain intensity and 
      Pressure pain threshold (PPT) were measured via Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and 
      algometry, respectively, before interventions and repeated 5 min after the first 
      and third treatment sessions in each group. RESULTS: One-way ANOVA was used for 
      data analysis. After treatment, between groups comparison revealed that for PPT 
      and VAS, there were significant differences between the two groups (VAS and PPT; 
      P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Both groups (PRT and sham control) showed alleviation of 
      pain and increase in PPT during three sessions of therapy although PRT showed to 
      be more effective in these patients.
