Filter by:This is a prospective, and controlled trial. 60 participants with myofascial trigger points and disc displacement with reduction and 60 participants with disc displacement with reduction will be included in the study. These two groups will be compared for clinical findings, pain severity and limitation of the temporomadibular function.
this is an observational and cross-sectional prevalence study. 10-18 years aged participants with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were recruited in the study. Myofascial pain syndrome will be questioned to the participants. additionally, all participants will be evaluated using their findings for scoliosis and myofascial pain syndrome diagnostic criteria. Cobb angle, coronal balance, shoulder and pelvis asymmetry, sagittal spino-pelvic parameters of the spine (cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis angles and sagittal vertical axis, sacral slop angle and pelvic incidence) will be measured.
Trigger point are hyper-irritable points, appear as nodules on palpation, discrete and focal spots in the taut band of skeletal muscles. Myofascial release technique and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization both techniques are used to break the adhesions and mobilize the soft tissue, releasing the trigger points. The study will contribute in comparing the level of pain threshold perceived by males and females in our society. .Moreover, finding a noninvasive effective treatment that is non-exhaustive for the therapist and non-painful for the patient.
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of High intensity laser therapy( HILT) on pressure pain threshold, serum cortisol level, passive knee range of motion, and changes of functional disability in patients with active myofascial trigger points(MTrPs) pain associated wit knee osteoarthritis(OA) .
This study will examine the effectiveness of water-filtered whole-body hyperthermia during an outpatient setting in patients with fibromyalgia. The duration of the study is about 3 weeks with two treatment units per week and a passive period (follow-up measurement) of 24 weeks after the outpatient setting.
Widespread pain is observed in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and lower extremity and foot pain are also common. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between foot pain and tarsal tunnel syndrome in female patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Ischemic compression is considered the fastest and most common method for providing relief in trigger point therapy, whereas cupping therapy is not a method often used for this purpose. The muscle that has a great impact on tension-type headaches and neck pain is the trapezius, whose upper fibres are where the most common trigger point in the back is located. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of single ischemic compression and single dry cupping therapy on the most common trigger point, on the descending part of the trapezius muscle.
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic and multicomponent illness with unknown etiology and is considered the most frequent cause of diffuse chronic musculoskeletal pain. There is little evidence to confirm if the condition is fully improved after a specific treatment program. Thus a multifactorial understanding of the pathology is crucial to propose new alternative treatments. In this regard, an alteration in circadian blood pressure and persistent nocturnal sympathetic hyperactivity have been shown in patients suffering from fibromyalgia syndrome, leading to malfunctioning in the autonomic nervous system. This is a common pathogenesis shared also by patients with non-dipping blood pressure pattern, which has been closely associated with cardiovascular morbidity. Finally, a significant relationship between fibromyalgia syndrome and non-dipping blood pressure pattern has been shown. Therefore, alterations in circadian blood pressure appear as an additional risk factor in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome, and treatments focus on recovering such blood pressure pattern may be indicated.
Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common cause of heel pain. Among the several conservative treatment options, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is considered the standard treatment. Recent studies suggest that PF may be sustained by a myofascial impairment proximal to the pain area with a biomechanical disequilibrium of the entire lower limb and pelvis. Therefore, by combining the concepts of Fascial Manipulation and ESWT, the purpose of this open label randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ESWT on myofascial trigger points of lower limb in a sample of subjects with PF. Patients with PF were randomly assigned to an Experimental treatment Group (EG), treated with focused ESWT on myofascial points, and a Control Group (CG), treated with the focused ESWT traditional approach on the medial calcaneal tubercle. Outcome measures included the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and the Italian Foot Functional Index (17-iFFI). The assessment was made before the first session(baseline-T1), immediately before the second session (T2), immediately before the third session (T3), at 1month (T4) and 4 months' follow-up (T5). Thirty patients who satisfied inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled.
108 myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) diagnosed patients will be randomly divided into 3 groups. To groups; exercise, exercise+high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and exercise+dry needling will be applied. Visual anolog scale (VAS) scores and neck range of motion (ROM) of the patients before-after treatment will be recorded and will be evaluated statistically.
