This study aims to examine the effect of deep tissue massage (DTM) on myofascial trigger point (MTrP) number, neck range of motion (ROM), pain, disability and quality of life in patients with Myofacial pain syndrome (MPS).
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of localized vibration and dry needling applied to the trigger point in the individuals with acute myofascial pain syndrome.Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was used for the primary outcome measure of the study, and pain intensity, pain tolerance and short form (SF-36) were used for secondary outcome measures.
Ozone (O2-O3) has been used as a supportive therapy in various musculoskeletal diseases such as lumbosacral disc herniation, knee osteoarthritis, meniscus injury, shoulder pathologies.The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of ozone (O2-O3) injection applied to the trigger point in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome.
Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is considered as a useful tool for quantifying muscle stiffness. Considering that Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrP) are defined as "hyperirritable zones in contracted bands of muscle, thought to be caused by muscle overload or stress" and the effectiveness of dry needling applied to active MTrP for reducing pain and disability, the aim of this study is to assess the effects of sham and real dry needling, applied to active MTrP in the upper trapezius muscle in patients with chronic neck pain, on the muscle stiffness in two areas: 1) the most symptomatic area and 2) a control point.
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.
The Investigators aim to evaluate the effectiveness of dry needling treatment in addition to stretching exercises on cramp duration, cramp intensity, cramp frequency, sleep quality, and sensitivity of myofascial trigger points in patients with nocturnal calf cramp.
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.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between latent MTrPs and gluteus medius muscle strength in a group of healthy adults.
The aim of this clinical trial is to check the effects of dry needling in the Flexor digitorum Brevis. Twenty healthy subjects wil be recruited for a quasi-experimental study. Participants will be from 18 to 40 years old, not obese. Participants will be measured before and after bilateral dry neddling in Flexor digitorum Brevis. The investigators will measure static footprint variables. The footprint variables will be divided in bilateral rear foot, bilateral midfoot, bilateral fore foot.
