Myofascial Trigger Point Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Myofascial Release With and Without Electrical Stimulation on Pain and Functionality in Women With Chronic Pelvic Pain
Myofascial pelvic pain (MFPP) caused by myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) is a major contributor to chronic pelvic pain in women.In females,pelvic pain is the single most common indication for referral to women's health services.Pelvic floor physical therapy with myofascial release improve mobility and reduce pain by releasing the painful trigger points.Tools that will be used,for pain numerical pain scale (NPS),functional pelvic pain scale(FPPS) and pelvic floor impact questionnaire-7 will be used to asses pain and functionality.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale) | Higher the numeric value is 10 and lower is 0.The patient is asked to make three pain ratings corresponding to current,best and worst pain experienced over the past 24 hours on a scale of 0(no pain)to 10(worst pain imaginable).The average of the 3 ratings was used to represent the patient's level of pain over the previous 24 hours. | 4 weeks | |
Primary | FPPS (Functional Pelvic Pain Scale) | Patients score pelvic function on the FPPS form for 8 categories:Bladder,Bowel,Intercourse,Walking,Running,Lifting,Working,Sleeping.The patients rated each category from 0 to 4,with 0 for normal function and 4 for cannot function because of pain.Thus each patient was given a total pelvic function score between 0 and 32. | 4 weeks | |
Primary | PFIQ-7 (Pelvic Floor Impact Questionaire) | The PFIQ-7 consists of 7-questions that need to be answered 3 times each considering symptoms related to the Bladder or urine,Bowel or rectum,Vagina or pelvis and their effects on function,social health and mental health in the past 3 months.The responses for each question range from "Not at all-Somewhat-Moderately-Quit a bit". To get scale scores,the mean of each of the 3 scales is individually calculated,which ranges from 0 to 3,this number is then multiplied by 100 and then divided by 3.The scale scores are then added together to get the total PFIQ-7 score,which ranges from 0 to 300.A lower score means there is a lesser effect on quality of life. | 4 weeks |
