Filter by:This study is a randomized controlled study. A total of 75 patients between the ages of 20-50 who have a diagnosis of acute myofacial pain syndrome in the trapezius muscle and have pain for a maximum of 5 days were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups. Group 1 patients received kinesio tape method (25 patients), group 2 patients received trigger point injection method (25 patients), and group 3 patients received neural therapy injection method (25 patients). A 10-15 cm sized I band was applied to the trapezius muscles of the first group patients with the patient's neck in lateral flexion. Then, while the patient's neck is flexed, a Y-shaped 15-20 cm tape will be affixed between C1-7 with the arms of the Y up, and I tape of 5-10 cm is attached on the arms. In group 2 patients, 1 cc lidocaine diluted with 4 cc saline (SF) was applied to the trigger points palpated manually in the trapezius muscles. After the trigger point was squeezed between the thumb and index finger, a few cc of local anesthetic mixture was applied into the trigger point with the injector and exited. In the 3rd group patients, a few cc local anesthetic mixture will be applied intradermally over the trigger point without entering into the trigger points palpated manually in the trapezius muscles. Patients were checked 72 hours and 1 week after the first applications. The pain at rest and during movement of the patients in all 3 groups were evaluated with a visual analog scale (VAS 10 cm). The number of trigger points was determined by the physician by hand palpation. Pressure pain threshold was evaluated with the algometer device. Disability assessment of the patients was made using the neck pain disability index. evaluations were made at the beginning of treatment, 72 hours after and 1 week after treatment.
With the rapid aging and worsening psychological problems worldwide, the special focus on somatic symptom and other psychological diseases of the older population is needed. However, there is no research comparing the incidence of somatic symptom between elderly and non-elderly, and clinical relevance with somatic symptom is uncertain. The study aims to clarify the prevalence of somatic symptom, depression and anxiety disorders in China, to compare physical and psychological difference between the elderly and non-elderly and to explore risk factors for somatic symptom in the elderly.
30 patients with chronic cervical myofascial pain (4 males, 26 females) aged between 25 to 57 years (with average age 41,20±10,23 years) were included the study. Participants were divided into two groups as intervention group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Patients in intervention group received radial shock-wave application one times a week for six weeks and home based stretching exercises. Patients in control group (CG) received home based stretching exercises. Rest and activity pain (Visual Analog Scale), pressure pain threshold (PPT), cervical range of motion (CROM) and disability (Neck Disability Index) were assessed at baseline and after the treatment.
Evaluation of the physiological and clinical effects of the biofeedback training with patients suffering from somatoform disorders, depending on their neurovegetative profile related to a visceral-brain decoupling.
Interstitial Cystitis / bladder pain syndrome (CI / BPS) is a debilitating pathology with a negative impact on the quality of life of affected individuals. It is characterized as the sensation of pain or discomfort related to the urinary bladder, accompanied by symptoms of the lower urinary tract, in the absence of infection. Among the phenotypes are Cystitis with Hunner's ulcer, essentially inflammatory pathology and without Hunner's lesion, non-inflammatory frequently associated with somatoform systemic changes. Functional changes in urothelium and epithelial barrier, neurogenic inflammation and autoimmune mechanisms are involved in the development of the disease. Medical ozone has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cytoprotective, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties. When administered, it is dissolved in biological fluids, immediately reacting with glycoproteins composed of carbohydrates and polypeptide chains. This reaction results in the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), lipid oxidation products (LOS), increased activation of erythroid-related nuclear transcription factors (Nrf2) activation of antioxidant response transcription elements (ARE) and increased variety of antioxidant enzymes that act as free radical scavengers. Benefits of O3 have been demonstrated in the treatment of neuropathic pain and hyperalgesia associated with the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. The objective of this work is to evaluate the effect of intravesical ozone gas administration in patients with Interstitial Cystitis / Painful Bladder Syndrome with low response to conventional therapy.
To compare the effect of combined thoracic manipulation (TM) and traditional physical therapy treatment (TPT) versus TPT treatment alone on pain severity at rest and functional disability in patients with type 1 complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS I) post-upper limb trauma.
The study evaluates the relationship between the duration of evolution of SDRC1 and the efficacy of continuous peripheral nerve block (c-PNB) associated with an intensive rehabilitation program to improve the therapeutic strategy of SDRC1. The main hypothesis of this study is that if c-PNB is proposed earlier, the recovery, measured with a scale achievement of objectives, will be better.
This is a randomized prospective study assessing the impact of psychosocial factors on pain and physical performance among adolescents with patellofemoral pain. A set of psychosocial surveys assessing fear avoidance beliefs, kinesiophobia, and pain catastrophizing will be completed by the participant/parents. Participants will then complete an activity questionnaire, numeric pain rating scale, and a self-report questionnaire of functional ability. Participants will then be randomized into one of two groups (psychologically informed education group and a control group). Participants will view a series of educational videos (based upon group assignment) and complete physical therapy exercises for lower extremity strengthening, flexibility, and neuromuscular control. Participants with patellofemoral pain will then complete follow-up surveys of their psychosocial beliefs, pain and self-reported functional ability through REDcap at immediately post-intervention, 1 week, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months.
Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) is an interfacial plane block described in 2016. It creates analgesia at T2-T9 levels in the hemithorax by applying local anesthetic to the fascia between the rhomboid muscle and the intercostal muscle. It has been used effectively in patients with chronic pain. Recently published report has shown that rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) may provide effective pain control for myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), too. MPS is a regional pain syndrome characterized by trigger points detected in one or more regional muscle groups. The investigators planned a prospective observational study, a total of 30 patients who will apply to our clinic with MPS, will register in research. The investigators will perform ultrasound-guided RIB, and evaluate the clinical outcomes.
The main hypothesis of the study is that telerehabilitation is an effective treatment method and it is not inferior than standard physiotherapy.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in patients with subacromial pain syndrome by comparing it with standard physiotherapy.
