The Efficiency of Dry Needling and Cold Spray-stretching Treatments

Myofascial Trigger Point Pain Clinical Trial

Official title:
Can the Efficiency of Dry Needling and Cold Spray-stretching Treatments be Documented by Ultrasonography and Electrophysiology?

Clinical Trial Summary

A prospective randomized single-blind study included 60 patients aged 18-65 years who have MPS with active triger points in the upper trapezius muscle. Patients were randomized into two treatment groups as dry needling (DN) and cold spray-stretching. Both treatment groups received 1 treatment per week and totally 3 sessions. Evaluation parameters were pain level assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) and algometer, neck range of motion angles, functional level assessed by neck disability index (NDI). The effects of the treatments on active trigger points were evaluated by sEMG and US histogram. All parameters were evaluated at the beginning of the treatment and after 3 sessions of treatment. Algometer and sEMG were performed also before and after the 1st and 3rd sessions.

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of dry needling and cold spray stretching treatments using surface electromyography (sEMG) and ultrasound (US) in the treatment of patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) with active trigger point (TrP) in the upper trapezius muscle. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective randomized single-blind study included 60 patients aged 18-65 years who have MPS with ATP in the upper trapezius muscle. Patients were randomized into two treatment groups as dry needling (DN) and cold spray-stretching. Both treatment groups received 1 treatment per week and totally 3 sessions. Evaluation parameters were pain level assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) and algometer, neck range of motion angles, functional level assessed by neck disability index (NDI). The effects of the treatments on aTP were evaluated by sEMG and US histogram. All parameters were evaluated at the beginning of the treatment and after 3 sessions of treatment. Algometer and sEMG were performed also before and after the 1st and 3rd sessions. ;
