The Therapeutic Effects of Dextrose Injection for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with an myofascial trigger point (MTrP) in their upper trapezius will be divided into three groups: Group A receiving MTrP injection with normal saline (control group), Group B with hypo-osmolar dextrose (5% dextrose), and Group C with hyper-osmolar dextrose (15% dextrose). Clinical outcomes and morphological changes will be measured before the injection, one hour after, one week after, two weeks after, and one month after the injection to delineate the therapeutic effects of dextrose injection for an MTrP.

Clinical Trial Description

This experiment is designed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of dextrose injection on an myofascial trigger point (MTrP). Patients with an MTrP in their upper trapezius will be recruited and be divided into three groups: Group A receiving MTrP injection with normal saline (control group), Group B with hypo-osmolar dextrose (5% dextrose), and Group C with hyper-osmolar dextrose (15% dextrose). Clinical outcomes (visual analog scale, pressure pain threshold, range of motion, neck disability index) will be measured before the injection, one hour after, one week after, two weeks after, and one month after the injection. Morphological changes of an MTrP before, and after the injection will also be evaluated by sonography. Through this study, the definite therapeutic effects, and the better osmolality of dextrose injection for the treatment of an MTrP will be delineated. ;
