Filter by: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.
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FS) is characterized by widespread pain and affect 0.5 to 5 % of the general population, with a higher prevalence in women. Recognized as disease by World Health Organization since 1992, FS concern 1.2 to 2 million of French people and his etiology need to be clarified. This affection is characterized by a higher sensitivity to nociceptive stimulus, articular and muscular pain and associated to: fatigue, headache, sleep disorders, depression and irritated bowel syndrome. The presentation of this symptoms varied according to the patient with a heterogeneity of the clinical, physical, social and psychologic conditions and of the therapeutic responses. Faced to the heterogeneity of FS, various hypotheses about the development mechanisms exist. Central sensitization could be one of the key mechanisms of FS, it is described as a loss of the natural balance between the transmission of a painful stimulus to the central nervous system and pain-inhibiting mechanisms, which results in permanent or chronic pain. Moreover, work on the familial character of FS suggests that a genetic component may be involved in its development, but the identification of a genetic determinant is difficult given the multifactorial nature and complexity of FS. The objective of this study is to characterize the predispositions of central sensitization and genetics in patients with FS compared to a control group, matched in age, sex and menopausal status.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a widespread and invalidating disease that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Particularly, the psychiatric component seems to influence the algological management of these patients. Since January 2018, the HADS, SF-36, IMSA, TCI psycho-attitudinal questionnaires have been introduced in the Pain Therapy unit of Policlinico Sant'Orsola-Malpighi in an attempt to improve the care of patients diagnosed with FM. The aim of the study is to identify, through retrospective evaluation of TCI tests and its subdomains, compiled by patients with FM diagnosis, Pain Avoidance and Pain Persistance personality patterns, indicated in the literature. Anxiety and Depression incidence is also observed through retrospective evaluation of HADS tests. Patients in the Antalgic Therapy Outpatient Clinic diagnosed with FM, aged ≥18 years, who have completed selfadministered psychoattitudinal tests from January 2018 to January 2019 were considered. The data were collected in aggregate and extrapolated anonymously.
The aim of the present study is to determine the effectiveness of probiotic and prebiotic treatments in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.
The aim of this clinical study is to assess the effectiveness of electroacupuncture in reducing the severity of symptoms, in improving limb function, in improving the aesthetic and motor conduction of the median nerve and in reducing its cross-sectional area at the inlet of the carpal tunnel in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. All upper extremities diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome will be treated with electroacupuncture for 8 sessions. Clinical, electrophysiological and ultrasonography outcome measures will be evaluated before and after the intervention, to assess the result.
To compare the effects of dry needling and Foam roller in myofascial trigger points. Needling has been shown to decrease pain in the short term; however, its effects on muscle force production are unclear. There are differences between dry needling and foam roller after treatment?
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
The investigators aim in this study is to evaluate myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) related websites in terms of the quality and the readability of the information. Also, to identify the typologies of websites that provide high-quality information about MPS.
Evaluation of the effect of combinatorial treatment of fibromyalgia patients (standard of care + minocycline + N-acetylcysteine (NAC) relative to standard of care on subjective pain measurement Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR).
