NCT ID: NCT04339673 Completed - Local Anesthesia Clinical Trials

Is Masseteric Nerve Block Effective in Myofascial Pain

Start date: July 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of three different treatment methods in the management of myofascial pain: masseteric nerve block (MN), trigger point injection(TrP) with local anesthetic (LA) and dry needling (DN).Study Design: 45 subjects aged 18-54 years were randomly assigned to the MN group (n= 15), LA group (n=15) and DN group (n=15).

NCT ID: NCT04319250 Completed - Shoulder Pain Clinical Trials

The Effectiveness Of Ischemic Compression And IASTM In Trigger Point Treatment In Patients With Rotator Cuff Tear

Start date: February 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of ischemic compression and IASTM techniques on pain, EHA, functionality, anxiety and depression in patients with the diagnosis of RM tear and presence of ATN. In addition, ischemic compression and EDYDM methods were aimed to compare and to reveal which application would be more useful.

NCT ID: NCT04135339 Completed - Clinical trials for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Efficacy of Exercise on Post Needling Soreness

Start date: July 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction. The myofascial trigger point (MTrP) is a clinical entity related to different clinical pictures of pain. Dry needling (DN) would be the most appropriate therapeutic option for its treatment, although it has mild-moderate adverse effects, such as post-needling soreness (PNS). The exercise could be a strategy for its management, but no recommendations on the most effective mode have been found. Objectives 1. To determine the effectiveness of the exercise, differentiated according to the dominant mode (concentric, eccentric, isometric), in order to reduce the PNS of latent MTrPs. 2. To analyse the variables that, a priori, can influence the evolution of pain. Methods. Study design .A randomized clinical trial. Scenario Private or home-based consultation in Global Physiotherapy, Madrid, Spain. Participants. Voluntaries, with no symptoms in the triceps surae muscle,>18 years old, who present at least one latent MTrP in medial gastrocnemius. Subjects with: other pathologies of lower limbs, active MTrP in the medial gastrocnemius muscle, contraindications to DN, prior application of DN and/or other therapies in MTrPs during the three months previous to the study (in gastrocnemius muscles) will be excluded. Intervention After DN of the medial gastrocnemius muscle, participants will be randomly allocated to four groups (three experimental groups and one control). In the experimental groups, subjects will be instructed to perform exercise protocols, differentiated according to the dominant contraction (concentric, eccentric, isometric) in muscle the gastrocnemius previously treated. Outcome measures. Pain intensity, by analog visual scale (VAS). Pressure pain threshold (PPT), by analog algometer. Demographics and anthropometrics. Protocol. Before and immediately after DN, the PPT will be evaluated in the latent MTrP. Pain intensity will also be assessed using VAS at two times: the first referred to pain during DN and the other referred to PNS two minutes after DN. The subjects will then be randomly divided into: a control group without any intervention after DN, and three experimental groups with different exercise protocols (differentiated by the dominant contraction: 3 sets x 15 reps, 3s each contraction, 30s of rest between sets) . The pain intensity will be recorded again by VAS, after the exercise session and at 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h after DN. PPT will also be assessed 2min after DN, after the exercise session and at 24h, and 48h after DN.

NCT ID: NCT03993223 Completed - Fatigue Clinical Trials

Upper Trapezius Myofascial Trigger Point in Overhead Athletes After Upper Trapezius Muscle Fatigue

Start date: June 17, 2019
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The healthy overhead athletes with and without upper trapezius myofascial trigger point will be asked to perform a scapular elevation task until the upper trapezius muscle fatigue. The first hypothesis is that the subjects with upper trapezius myofascial trigger point will show significant difference in scapular kinematics and muscles activities when compared to subjects without upper trapezius myofascial trigger point. Besides, the investigators suggest that subjects with/without upper trapezius myofascial trigger point will show significant difference in scapular kinematics and muscles activities after upper trapezius muscle fatigue, especially in subjects with upper trapezius myofascial trigger point.

NCT ID: NCT03941054 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Myofascial Trigger Point Pain

Myosfascial Trigger-Points and Effects on Neuromuscular Response

Start date: May 2, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of the treatment of the Myosfascial Trigger-Points detected in the gastrocnemius muscles on the neuromuscular response.

NCT ID: NCT03840473 Completed - Clinical trials for Myofascial Trigger Point Pain

Efficacy of Combination Therapies on Neck Pain & Muscle Tenderness in Patients With Upper Trapezius MTrPs

Start date: August 11, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Myofascial pain syndrome thought to be the main cause of neck pain and shoulder muscle tenderness in the working population is characterized by myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). This study aimed to examine the immediate and short-term effect of the combination of two therapeutic techniques for improving neck pain and muscle tenderness in patients with upper trapezius Myofascial Trigger points.

NCT ID: NCT03708107 Completed - Clinical trials for Myofascial Trigger Point Pain

Percutaneous Microelectrolysis (MEP) Versus Ischemic Compression in Miofascial Trigger Points

Start date: October 22, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Percutaneous Microelectrolysis ® (MEP®) is a technique that employs a galvanic current up to 990 uA, which is applied percutaneously with an acupuncture needle connected to the cathode. Although it is used in tendinopathies, trigger points and muscle injuries, among other conditions, its bases are mostly empirical and there is lack of evidence. Ischemic compression is a manual therapy that is usually applied in muscle pain. Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) usually presents painful myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). One methodology used to quantify the pain in MPS is the algometry, which measures the pressure pain threshold (PPT). The aim of this study was to compare the effects of MEP® with ischemic compression on MTrPs with algometry.
