Filter by:Title: Comparative Efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma injection and Dry Needling in management of trigger points in masseter muscle in Myofascial Pain Syndrome patients. Rationale: Pain and trismus caused by Myofascial pain syndrome in masticatory muscles are one of the prime concerns for the patients. In the recent times, Platelet Rich Plasma therapy has been studied extensively and has produced promising results. It is used to promote sarcomere repair by concentrating growth factors and decrease inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory and apoptotic cells. Thus, the present study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma injection in trigger points in masseter muscle in myofascial pain syndrome patients. Research Question P: Population (Patients with trigger points in masseter muscle) I: Intervention (PRP injection) C: Control (Dry needling) O: Outcome (Improvement in symptom of pain ) T: Time Frame (1 year) S: Study Design (Randomized clinical trial) Setting in Haryana , India Is Platelet Rich Plasma more effective as compared to dry needling alone in treatment of trigger points in masseter muscle in Myofascial Pain Syndrome patients ?
Shoulder pain in people with spinal cord injury is one of the most prevalent in acute and chronic patients because of weakness in shoulder periarticular muscles, and also because of overuse of these part of the body in assistive devices. This study aims to evidence if dry needling (a physiotherapy technique) is also useful in patients with spinal cord injury, and how long it could hold out without or less pain.
INTRODUCTION: Cervical pain is a very common clinical condition in the world population, and can affect 70% of people at some point in life. Many of these conditions arise from musculoskeletal disorders, which may be caused by myofascial dysfunctions. Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) may be an important therapeutic tool as a means of treatment under these conditions. PURPOSE: To verify the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) on pain, disability and range of motion (ROM) in individuals with non-specific chronic neck pain. DESIGN: Randomized Clinical Trial. METHODS: The sample will consist of 46 volunteers with non-specific chronic neck pain of both sexes, aged between 18 and 60 years, who presented pain for at least 12 weeks, without irradiation to the upper limbs distally to the shoulders. Of these, those that are not excluded, will be allocated randomly in one of the two groups present: Experimental Group (GE) - IASTM in the neck and Control Group (CG) - Manual myofascial release in the neck region. A blinded evaluator will be assigned to conduct the evaluation process for both groups. DESPECTS: The outcomes will be neck pain, neck disability and range of motion of the neck.
