Filter by:Myofascial pain syndrome is a disease characterized by pain over the trigger point in a taut muscle band. After the correct diagnosis is made, many treatment methods can be applied. One of these treatments is the treatment with prolotherapy injection. Proliferant reveals defense mechanisms remove them and then start the healing process in the damaged area. Usually, dextrose water is used. Lidocaine is an anesthetic. With lidocaine injection, the passage of painful stimuli is prevented and the opioid system is activated. The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of prolotherapy and lidocaine treatment in the myofascial pain syndrome.
This study focusing on sound therapy in patients with fibromyalgia is a single-centre, prospective, randomized study which evaluates the improvement or not of painful symptoms following relaxation sessions with sound therapy.
Participants between the ages of 18-64 who were diagnosed with cervical myofascial pain syndrome will be included in the study. cervical sagittal parameters, numerical pain rating scale, Bournemouth neck questionnaire and cervical range of motion will be measured and evaluated.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of infrared radiation in improving the various symptoms of fibromyalgia syndrome, by using a long-sleeved white shirt impregnated with a long-infrared irradiating bioceramic, as well as the adherence to it and its applicability in daily routines. A prospective, experimental, randomized, and double-blind study was carried. The study was implemented over 7 months, with a total of 5 visits for each patient. Participants were randomly allocated in experimental or control group. Those included in the experimental group received a shirt impregnated with ceramic emitting long infrared waves while participants in the placebo group received an exactly looking shirt, but not impregnated with ceramic emitting long infrared waves. Each visit comprised clinical evaluation and self-report scales filling (WPS, SS and FIQR scales).
The aim of our study is to examine the relationship between dual task and physical and psychosocial factors in female patients with fibromyalgia. We will perform Dual Task Test, 6 min Walking Test, the Baecke Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20, Tracking Test, General Self-Efficacy Scale the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, the Revised FM Impact Questionnaire, the Social Support Scale.
This study looked after the effectiveness of radial ESWT on upper trapezius mtrps. There were three intervention groups which recieved either ESWT or standard care. VAS, PPT, Neck ROM and Cervical functionality were the main outcomes.
this is an observational and cross-sectional prevalence study. 10-18 years aged participants with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were recruited in the study. Myofascial pain syndrome will be questioned to the participants. additionally, all participants will be evaluated using their findings for scoliosis and myofascial pain syndrome diagnostic criteria. Cobb angle, coronal balance, shoulder and pelvis asymmetry, sagittal spino-pelvic parameters of the spine (cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis angles and sagittal vertical axis, sacral slop angle and pelvic incidence) will be measured.
This study will examine the effectiveness of water-filtered whole-body hyperthermia during an outpatient setting in patients with fibromyalgia. The duration of the study is about 3 weeks with two treatment units per week and a passive period (follow-up measurement) of 24 weeks after the outpatient setting.
Widespread pain is observed in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and lower extremity and foot pain are also common. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between foot pain and tarsal tunnel syndrome in female patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic and multicomponent illness with unknown etiology and is considered the most frequent cause of diffuse chronic musculoskeletal pain. There is little evidence to confirm if the condition is fully improved after a specific treatment program. Thus a multifactorial understanding of the pathology is crucial to propose new alternative treatments. In this regard, an alteration in circadian blood pressure and persistent nocturnal sympathetic hyperactivity have been shown in patients suffering from fibromyalgia syndrome, leading to malfunctioning in the autonomic nervous system. This is a common pathogenesis shared also by patients with non-dipping blood pressure pattern, which has been closely associated with cardiovascular morbidity. Finally, a significant relationship between fibromyalgia syndrome and non-dipping blood pressure pattern has been shown. Therefore, alterations in circadian blood pressure appear as an additional risk factor in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome, and treatments focus on recovering such blood pressure pattern may be indicated.
