Background: Myofascial trigger points found along taut bands of muscle fibers are a common cause of pain among nursing professionals. Instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM) and myofascial release (MFR) are two techniques to relieve pain and disability. This study aimed to compare the effects of IASTM and MFR on pain, range of motion, and functional disability on upper trapezius trigger points (UTTPs) in nursing professionals. Materials and Methods: Thirty nursing professionals with UTTPs were allotted to two groups (n = 15 each). The IASTM group received IASTM plus a home exercise program, whereas the MFR group received myofascial release plus a home exercise program. Both groups received two sessions per week for three weeks. Patients were assessed for pain, range of motion, and functional disability at baseline and after 3 weeks. Results: The results indicated statistically significant differences between the IASTM group and the MFR group for pain, disability, and range of motion, except for active cervical rotation on the left side. Within each group, all the variables showed significant improvement. Conclusion: Although both groups had significant improvements in all variables, participants treated with IASTM had better results in reducing pain, improving range of motion, and improving functional status.
