Filter by:The study consists in evaluating the neuromuscular response of the gastrocnemious muscles before and after a diacutaneous fibrolysis over the gastrocnemious muscles.
Patients with myofascial pain syndrome at upper trapezius will be randomized into 2 groups, fascial injection group and subcutaneous control injection group. Pain condition pain, range of motion and function will be evaluated in 1 week, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after injection.
This study will be conducted in the Department of physical therapy, College of Applied Medical Sciences,Jazan University, to investigate text neck syndrome and hand grip force in smart phone addiction among students of jazan university
Shoulder pain in people with spinal cord injury is one of the most prevalent in acute and chronic patients because of weakness in shoulder periarticular muscles, and also because of overuse of these part of the body in assistive devices. This study aims to evidence if dry needling (a physiotherapy technique) is also useful in patients with spinal cord injury, and how long it could hold out without or less pain.
Participants with chronic orofacial pain caused by masticatory and neck muscles will be distributed in two groups, both followed with the same occlusal and self-care treatment. The experimental group will receive 5 sessions of physiotherapy applying a specific pressure on the trigger points while the control group will receive placebo through a simulation of the same technique. Orofacial perceived pain, pain pressure thresholds, catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, cervical disability, depression and anxiety will be evaluated at baseline, immediately after treatment and 3 months later.
The myofascial points within the trapezius muscle are hypoechogenic regions that can be depicted via ultrasound imaging. In this study we aimed to demonstrate the hypoechogenic regions within the trapezius muscle and to determine if physical therapy modalities change the appearance and size of these areas. We also wanted to explore if the presence of these areas correlate with pain.
INTRODUCTION: Cervical pain is a very common clinical condition in the world population, and can affect 70% of people at some point in life. Many of these conditions arise from musculoskeletal disorders, which may be caused by myofascial dysfunctions. Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) may be an important therapeutic tool as a means of treatment under these conditions. PURPOSE: To verify the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) on pain, disability and range of motion (ROM) in individuals with non-specific chronic neck pain. DESIGN: Randomized Clinical Trial. METHODS: The sample will consist of 46 volunteers with non-specific chronic neck pain of both sexes, aged between 18 and 60 years, who presented pain for at least 12 weeks, without irradiation to the upper limbs distally to the shoulders. Of these, those that are not excluded, will be allocated randomly in one of the two groups present: Experimental Group (GE) - IASTM in the neck and Control Group (CG) - Manual myofascial release in the neck region. A blinded evaluator will be assigned to conduct the evaluation process for both groups. DESPECTS: The outcomes will be neck pain, neck disability and range of motion of the neck.
This study evaluates the effects of low level laser therapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy in patients with myofascial pain syndrome of the upper trapezius. Half of the patients receive laser therapy, half of them receive shock wave therapy for three weeks.
Comparison between high and low frequency percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation as treatment of myofascial chronic neck pain. The main hypothesis is that low frequency treatment will have more hypoalgesic effects than high frequency, and low frequency effects will last longer.
The present study aims to evaluate the differences that may be experienced in pain and cervical disability, before, during and just after the intervention of the Deep Dry Needling in the upper trapezius muscle in active, passive myofascial trigger points (MTP) or non-MTP in Patients with neck pain, assessing, in turn, the neurophysiological effects on the Autonomic Nervous System. Hypothesis: Deep Dry Needling of active myofascial trigger points produces a greater decrease of pain and cervical disability index and increase of pressure pain threshold; Than the Deep Dry Needling of Myofascial Trigger Points latent or out of Myofascial Trigger Points in patients with chronic neck pain. Objective: To determine the efficacy of Deep Dry Needling applied on Active Myofascial Triggers (MTP) vs. latent MTP versus MTP, on pain reduction and cervical disability, in patients with chronic neck pain attributable to Myofascial Pain Syndrome.
