Knee Pain Chronic Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy of High and Low Intensity Percutaneous Electrolysis for the Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome: A Pilot Study
Muscle pain is frequently attributed to myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in which myofascial
trigger points (MTrP) are a characteristic feature. Dry needling is a frequent clinical
practice to manage MPS but few evidence is published about percutaneous electrolysis effects
for the treatment of MPS.
This is a randomized clinical trial with 3 parallel groups: 1) High intensity-short time
percutaneous electrolysis; 2) Low intensity-long time percutaneous electrolysis; 3) dry
needling control group.
The current study aimed to evaluate changes in rectus femurs active trigger points and
patellar tendon pain pressure thresholds and subjective anterior knee pain perception after
application of two percutaneous electrolysis methods using a same charge (high intensity and
low intensity) compared to a dry needling group in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome
(PFPS)
Fifteen patients diagnosed with unilateral PFPS were divided in two experimental groups (high
intensity percutaneous electrolysis and low intensity percutaneous electrolysis) and one
active control group (dry needling. The duration of the study was 7 days with only one
intervention. Pain pressure thresholds were assessed using an algometer before the
intervention, immediately after the intervention and after 7 days and a Visual Analogue Scale
was used before the treatment and after 7 days to rate the subjective anterior knee pain
perception. Also a VAS was used to rate the pain perception during the intervention
