Filter by:The goal of this study is to develop new imaging biomarkers for quantitative assessments of myofascial pain.
In this study, the effectiveness of two different application methods that can be used in myofascial trigger point injection treatment will be compared.
Data will be collected at Pakistan Sports Board Lahore. Study design will be Randomized Clinical Trial. Sample size is 28. Population will be divided into two Groups by Convinient Sampling Technique. Group A willl be Treated with Dynamic Cupping And Group B will be Treated with Soft Tissue Myofascial Release. Inclinometer, Back Pain Functional Scale, Functional Mobility Scale and Numerc Pain Rating Scale will be used to generate the outcomes of study.
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate a biomarker for lumbar myofascial pain (MP) based on ultrasound obtained measurements of the lumbar muscles and fascia. The investigators will use advanced machine learning approaches and validation in a randomized controlled trial. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will the deep learning-based marker reliably identify subjects from the 4 different groups: healthy, MP without trigger points, MP with latent trigger points, and MP with active trigger points? - Will the deep learning-based marker accurately classify/predict the severity of MP in subjects with cLBP? Participants in the healthy group will be asked to do the following tasks: - Consent/Enrollment - Measure Height/Weight - Complete Questionnaires on REDCap - Participate in Ultrasound Imaging Experiment Sessions Participants in the chronic low back pain group will be asked to do the following tasks: - Consent/Enrollment - Complete Questionnaires on REDCap - Measure Height/Weight - Undergo a Standardized Clinical Exam - Participate in Ultrasound Imaging Experiment Sessions
An observational study following up with trigeminal neuralgia patients to understand their comorbid facial pain condition, specifically temporomandibular disorder.
The main objective of this study is to establish novel measures derived from Total-body-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (TB-PET/CT) as quantitative biomarkers for the investigation of myofascial pain. The TB-PET/CT assessed measures are those reflective of myofascial tissue metabolism, perfusion, and fatty infiltration.
This is an observational study that is intended to determine the capacity of three technologies to serve as diagnostic biomarkers for myofascial pain syndrome. Investigators will seek patients with myofasical pain syndrome as well as healthy subjects for this study. Electrical impedance myography (EIM), myofiber threshold tracking (TT) excitability testing, and ultrasound with shear wave elastography (SWE) measurements will be obtained from the trapezius muscle (the muscle that extends over the back of the neck and shoulders). These measurements will be repeated within 2-5 days to assess repeatability of these methods.
Myofascial pain (MPS) is the leading cause of chronic and persistent regional pain, affecting as many as 85% of the general population. A variety of treatment methods for myofascial pain have been investigated, including injection of saline, local anesthetics and steroids, dry needle, mini-scalpel, rich platelet plasma and radiofrequency ablation. Ultrasound guided dry needle (DN) and pulsed radiofrequency ablation (PRF) of the trigger point have been considered as two effective and promising treatments for myofascial pain. As far as searched, we failed to identify any study comparing the effects of DN and PRF in myofascial pain patients.
The purpose of this research study is to use a new imaging technique called Magnetic Resonance (MR) Elastography to create new imaging parameters to measure the mechanical properties of myofascial tissues that can be used to assess the impaired myofascial interface in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).
The aim of the project is to assess the effectiveness of reducing the masseter muscles tension and hyperactivity in patients with a painful form of TMD by using polymers containing CBD compared to placebo polymers.
