Start date: July 22, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study intends to determine the effects of thoracic manipulation on pressure pain sensitivity in patients with rhomboid active trigger points.

NCT ID: NCT04161105 Completed - Trigger Points Clinical Trials

Treatment Time-frame Guideline for Dry Needling in the Lower Limb

Start date: September 16, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study evaluates the impact of treating myofascial trigger points with a single session of dry needling on maximal isometric strength in the short term. Two groups will receive dry needling in separate muscle groups and a third group will receive no dry needling.

NCT ID: NCT04089228 Completed - Trigger Points Clinical Trials

Kinesio Taping on Trapezius Trigger Points After Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT)

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

The aim of this research is to see the effects of kinesio taping after integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on pain, disability, pain-pressure threshold and muscle length in patients with upper trapezius trigger points. There will be two groups experimental and control. One study group will receive kinesiotaping after integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and the other group will only receive integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique.

NCT ID: NCT03946995 Completed - Trigger Points Clinical Trials

Dry Needling Versus Graston Technique in Active Myofascial Trigger Points on Upper Trapezius

Start date: March 19, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will compare the effects dry needling and Graston technique in active myofascial trigger points on upper trapezius. Half of the study participants will receive dry needling whereas other half will receive Graston technique.

NCT ID: NCT03500861 Completed - Clinical trials for Tension-Type Headache

Trigger Point Dry Needling for Chronic Tension-Type Headache

Start date: April 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this double-blind randomized trial, we aimed to explore the effectiveness of trigger point dry needling in patients with chronic tension type headache (CTTH) in reduction of headache frequency, intensity, duration, and improvement of health-related quality of life (HRQoL).A total of 160 CTTH patients participated in this double-blind, sham-controlled randomized trial. The patients received dry needling using sterile stainless-steel acupuncture needles of 0.25x40 mm and 0.25x 25 mm dimensions three times a week for 2 weeks. The primary outcome measurement which was the headache intensity and, the secondary outcome measurements which were the headache frequency and duration were collected using a headache diary before and after treatment. Another secondary outcome measurement which was the health related quality of life was measured before treatment and at the end of the 1-month follow-up period. HRQoL assessments of patients were performed using Short Form-36 (SF-36). In the dry needling (DN) group, both the primary outcome measurements and the scores of SF-36 subscales were significantly improved after treatment. In the DN group, all effect sizes for headache variables were large. The results of this clinical trial suggest that trigger point dry needling in patients with CTTH is effective and safe in reduction of headache frequency, intensity, duration, and increasing health-related quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT03375229 Completed - Myofascial Pain Clinical Trials

Dry Needling and Low-level Laser Therapy to Treat Myofascial Pain

Start date: April 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Myofascial Pain is a clinical condition of myalgic pain characterized mainly by the presence of Myofascial Trigger Points. Trigger points can be active or latent and they are described as a hypersensitive spot within a taut band in the muscle. The use of a computer for long periods has been shown as a trigger the trigger points. Dry Needling and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been described as good resources to treat myofascial pain. The hypothesis is that the association of the purposed interventions will have greater effects than only the dry needling intervention. The objective is to evaluate the effects of the dry needling and the laser in the treatment of upper trapezius trigger point on women. This study is composed of an evaluation and an intervention proposal with dry needling and LLLT to treat myofascial trigger points. The sample will be composed of 60 women, with 18 to 65 years old, divided into three groups. Twenty individuals will be in group Dry-On that will receive dry needling intervention on the trigger point, followed by LLLT intervention on. Twenty individuals will be in group Dry-Off that will receive dry needling intervention on the trigger point, followed by LLLT intervention turned off. Twenty individuals will be in group Control that will receive dry needling intervention at 1.5 cm from the trigger point, followed by LLLT intervention turned off. All interventions will be performed in one session. Outcome measures for pain, pressure pain threshold, functionality, and muscle activity will be collected.

NCT ID: NCT02609412 Completed - Trigger Points Clinical Trials

Immediate Effects of Self-myofascial Release on Latent Trigger Point Sensitivity

Start date: May 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Latent myofascial trigger points (LMTRP) which impair neuromuscular performance occur in both, patients and asymptomatic subjects. As evidence suggests that LMTRP can transform into active trigger points, therapy seems warranted. Besides other modalities, self-massage using foam rollers (self-myofascial release) has been applied as a treatment. However, there is no data on the efficacy of this method concerning LMTRP. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the effects of different forms of self-myofascial release on LMTRP pain. Healthy patients with LMTRP in the calf are randomly allocated to one of three groups: 1) 90s static compression of the most sensitive LMTRP by means of the foam roll, 2) dynamic self-myofascial release rolling back and forth on the calf muscles for 90s using a foam roller, 3) placebo laser acupuncture of the most sensitive LMTRP. All subjects participate in a familiarization session with the foam roller one week prior to treatments. As an outcome, pressure pain threshold is assessed with an algometer. The investigators hypothesize, that static compression can reduce pressure pain of LMTRP more effective than dynamic self-myofascial release. The investigators further expect that placebo treatment will be the least effective method.
