Pregabalin Treatment for Trigger Points

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common problem in the general population. MPS should not be a local/peripheral painful syndrome and considered to be a syndrome of central sensitivity. We aimed to investigate the effect of pregabalin in patients with MPS in this study

Clinical Trial Description

We randomized 40 patients into two groups, and 17 patients per group completed the study. Patients in group I received pregabalin and exercise therapy, whereas those in group II received exercise therapy alone. All patients were evaluated as follows: for pain by VAS; trigger-point pressure pain threshold-(PPT) by algometry; neuropathic pain using DN4 and quality of life with the SF36. Evaluations were performed pretreatment and at the end of the first and third months of treatment. ;
