Pseudo Angina

Pseudo-angina is a musculoskeletal condition characterized by chest pain that resembles angina but occurs due to non-cardiac causes, particularly myofascial trigger points in the chest wall muscles. Trigger points in the pectoralis major and minor muscles may contribute to pain, discomfort, and functional limitations by affecting muscle activity and movement. Manual therapy techniques such as the Graston Technique and Local Ischemic Compression (LIC) are commonly used to manage soft tissue dysfunction and myofascial trigger points. This study aims to compare the effects of the Graston Technique and Local Ischemic Compression on pain reduction and functional improvement in patients with pseudo-angina.
