Clinical Trial Summary

The primer aim of this study is to demonstrate the effecti of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization on pain, functionality, quality of life and depression in the treatment of female patients with myofascial pain syndrome due to active trigger points in the upper trapezius muscles


Clinical Trial Description

Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MAS); It is a non-articular, non-inflammatory regional musculoskeletal pain syndrome characterized by myofascial trigger points located at muscle, fascia or tendon insertion sites and the spread of pain to reference areas by palpation of these points. h The effectiveness of massage therapy in MAS is known. In this study, investigators will apply instrument assisted deep tissue mobilization (graston massage). Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization massage, which is a type of massage, will be applied by a physiotherapist who has a certificate on this subject and takes part as an assistant researcher in our study. Soft tissue mobilization is a unique soft tissue mobilization combined with active mobility and stretching exercises already prescribed for patients with musculoskeletal injuries. The various sizes and beveled edges of the stainless steel instruments allow physiotherapists to tailor treatment to different muscle structures facing myofascial constraints. Localized increases in blood flow and soft tissue realignment lead to muscle function, increased normal joint motion, and decreased pain. It has been investigated in the literature for many different diseases (trigger finger, nonspecific low back pain, myofascial pain syndrome) and found to be effective.CF ;
