NCT ID: NCT03890393 Completed - Clinical trials for Myofascial Trigger Points

A Clinical Observation on Electrophysiology in Headache Patients With Myofascial Trigger Points

Start date: January 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Through an observational, cross-sectional study, muscle activity was compared among 21 subjects with episodic headache, 17 subjects with chronic headache and 17 age-matched healthy controls. Muscle activity was bilaterally tested with needle electromyography at rest status, targeting at myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in the frontal, temporal, sternocleidomastoid (SCM), splenius capitis, splenius cervicis and trapezius of each subject. Headache characteristics (intensity, frequency and duration), McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) and Digital Span (DS) scales were secondary outcomes. The correlation between muscle activity and headache characteristics was also analyzed. This study provides preliminary evidence of the relationship between muscle and the chronicity of headache.

NCT ID: NCT03082547 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Myofascial Trigger Points

A Clinical Observation on Neuropsychology and Electrophysiology in Headache Patinets With Myofascial Trigger Points

Start date: August 1, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

To study the clinical characteristics of headache patients with pericranial myofascial trigger points(MTrPs),and to explore the possible pathogenesis of MTrPs,investigators hope to find the possible electrical biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and to improve the effect of headache treatment.

NCT ID: NCT01675700 Completed - Clinical trials for Myofascial Trigger Points

Topical Nitrates for Myofascial Trigger Points

Start date: January 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a topical nitroglycerine patch applied daily over a trapezius trigger point can improve patients' symptoms. If there is improvement, this open label study will help determine the degree of improvement and contribute to the design of a larger double blind placebo controlled trial. We would consider moving forward to a large randomized trial if: - The intervention is acceptable to patients (>= 70%) and - Compliance is satisfactory (>=80%) and - We find preliminary evidence of efficacy, i.e. average reduction in pain of 20mm on the VAS.

NCT ID: NCT01418170 Completed - Clinical trials for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Dose Response Effects of Cervical Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) on Pressure Sensitivity of Myofascial Trigger Points

Start date: September 2011
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Specific Aim 1: To determine if the effect of cervical spinal manipulation on the pressure pain thresholds in a myofascial trigger point in the infraspinatus muscle can be enhanced and/or extended after a second cervical spine manipulation is given during a single subject visit. H1: There will be a statistically significant increase in pressure pain thresholds in the myofascial trigger point in the infraspinatus muscle after the second cervical spine manipulation, as compared to the first. Specific Aim 2: To determine if the effect of two cervical spinal manipulations on pressure pain thresholds in a myofascial trigger point in the infraspinatus muscle will be present at 48 hours follow-up. Data will be collected for descriptive purposes and hypothesis generation.

NCT ID: NCT01275482 Completed - Myofascial Pain Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of Transverse Friction Massage in Latent Myofascial Trigger Points in Anterior Deltoid Muscle

Start date: January 2011
Phase: Phase 0
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Transverse Friction Massage (TFM) in Latent Myofascial Trigger points (MTrP) is more effective making this technique in two different ways.

NCT ID: NCT00999648 Completed - Tinnitus Clinical Trials

Efficacy of Myofascial Trigger Point Pressure Release on Tinnitus Patients

MTP
Start date: March 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of myofascial trigger (MTP) point deactivation for tinnitus control in a population with tinnitus and myofascial pain.
