AB  - PURPOSE: To compare the ischaemic compression (IC) and instrument-assisted soft 
      tissue mobilization (IASTM) in the treatment of MTrPs in addition to standard 
      rehabilitation program in patients with rotator cuff tears. METHODS: Participants 
      with rotator cuff tears were included the study (n = 46). Patients were randomly 
      divided into two groups; which were Group 1 (IC + standard rehabilitation program 
      (n = 23)), and Group 2 (IASTM + standard rehabilitation program (n = 23)) groups. 
      Pain were assessed by visual analog scale (VAS). Range of motion (ROM) was 
      assessed by a universal goniometer. Active MTrPs were assessed according to the 
      Travel and Simons criteria. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) were assessed by a 
      digital algometer. Function were evaluated by the Disabilities of the Arm, 
      Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons 
      Standardised Shoulder Assessment (ASES) Form. Anxiety and depression were 
      evaluated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale. Satisfaction was 
      assessed by the Global Rating of Change scale after 6 weeks treatment. RESULTS: 
      After the treatment, pain, ROM and the DASH, ASES, HAD scores improved in both 
      groups (p < 0.05). The active MTrPs of 2 muscles, PPT of 4 muscles and DASH in 
      Group 1 significantly improved compared to Group 2 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: 
      Although patients with low functionality accumulated in the IC group, the IC is 
      more effective than the IASTM in increasing the PPT and functional improvement 
      according to the results of the DASH score.
