Background: The Neck pain is one of the common musculoskeletal disorders, it refers to pain along the axis of cervical spine column and it is related to para spinal musculature. Upper trapezius is designated as postural muscle. The trapezius pain is the classic stress pain of the neck and upper back, and it is the most common type of musculoskeletal disorders, it is highly susceptible for overuse. The purpose of this study was to assess and compare these two manual therapy techniques and to determine the efficacy of each therapy for treating trigger points.

Methods: 30 patients were selected between the age group of 18 to 35 years and having a past history of neck pain for one month. 15 patients were allocated to each group of experiment. Group I was given integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and Group II was given Bowen technique. Evaluation of the subjects was done using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Neck disability index scale (NDI).

Results: Data analysis revealed statistically significant difference between both groups and proved that integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique was more effective than Bowen technique in Mechanical neck pain.

Conclusion: This study concluded that the Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition technique was significantly more effective than the Bowen technique in reducing pain and neck disability in subjects with mechanical neck pain.  

Keywords: Mechanical neck pain, Integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique, Bowen technique, Visual analogue scale, Neck disability index score.
