Attentional Focus Strategies in Exercise in Patients With Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Myofascial Pain Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Investigation of the Effects of Attentional Focus Strategies on Pain, Disability, Posture, Quality of Life, and Depression in Patients With Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Clinical Trial Summary

Attentional focus is a concept of motor learning and the usage of this concept promotes exercise-induced muscular adaptations and affects motor performances. In practice,two main verbal instructions are directing the focus of attention; external focus (EFA) and internal focus of attention (IFA). Several studies show the results related with different health conditions. However, there is not enough studies to investigate the effectiveness of these attentional focus strategies in exercise regimes in patients with musculoskeletal problem. Thus, the study will be the first to investigate the effectiveness of attentional focus strategies in patients with neck and upper back myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) which is the most common syndrome of musculoskeletal problems.

Clinical Trial Description

When investigating the literature studies, there is insufficient evidence to determine which attentional focus strategies are more effective for improving function and decreasing pain in different health conditions. In most of the studies duration of symptoms of patients was not mentioned and there are no studies that directly compare EFA and IFA and report the effects on pain or functional outcomes in musculoskeletal conditions.Additionally, one study investigated the effectiveness of attentional focus strategies used in a training program but not in a musculoskeletal problem. Thus, the study aims to investigate the effectiveness of attentional focus strategies in patients with neck and upper back MPS in terms of pain, pressure pain threshold, quality of life, depression, disability, and posture parameters. ;
