Neck Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
THE INMEDIATE EFFECTS OF RICHELLI'S PAINRELIEVER ON UPPER TRAPEZIUS MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINT IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM NECK PAIN: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
This study aimed to verify the mechanical and clinical effects of instrumented massage on myofascial trigger points of trapezius muscle in adult subjects.
Background: There are several therapies currently used to treat myofascial trigger points,
including conservative and invasive techniques. It has been shown that conservative
techniques including therapeutic massage, stretching, transcutaneal electrical nerve
stimulation, spray and stretch, cold laser treatment, and ultrasound are the most applied
treatments for myofascial pain syndrome, but no single strategy has proved to be universally
successful. Instrumented massage has shown clinical effectiveness on shoulder pain, low back
pain, and only one study (case report) on myofascial trigger points. This study aimed to
verify the mechanical and clinical effects of instrumented massage on myofascial trigger
points of trapezius muscle in adult subjects.
Methods/Design: The study includes 31 volunteers with myofascial trigger points on right
trapezius muscle. Clinical and patient data were obtained from questionnaires, VAS,
algometry, sono-myoelastography and myotonometry. Also, physiotherapist grip strength was
measured. Subjects were randomly allocated into one of two groups: Instrumented massage or
Manual massage. The intervention consisted in a single 20 minutes session of massage on the
back and neck by the same therapist, depending of the group, massage was applied manually or
instrumented.
