Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the immediate effect of the suboccipital release technique on trapezius muscle pain threshold, muscle activation, and anxiety level in individuals with anxiety.Thirty-six people with anxiety symptoms were included in the study. These people were divided into two groups, 18 control group and 18 treatment group. Upper trapezius muscle pain threshold, muscle activation and anxiety levels were evaluated. The experimental group received a single session of suboccipital release technique. The control group received a single session of sham suboccipital release. The evaluations were performed before and immediately after the treatment.The suboccipital release technique can increase the trapezius muscle upper part pain threshold and concentric muscle activation immediately after the application in individuals with anxiety.
There is no study in the literature comparing both kinesiotaping and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) with conventional physical therapy in upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome. In this study, we aimed to make this comparison.
The aim of this research is to compare the effects of Bowen's technique and Myofascial Release technique on pain and disability in patients with trapezitis.Randomized controlled trials done at Islamabad Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre(IPRC) and Benazir Bhutto Hospital. The sample size was 66. The subjects were divided in two groups, 33 subjects in Bowen's Technique group and 33 subjects in Myofascial Release Technique group. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was non probability purposive sampling technique. The patients aged 20-40 years and clinicaly diagnosed with Trapezitis(spasm,trigger points,tenderness,stiffness) were included in the study. Tools used in the study are Cervical ROMs, NPRS, NDI, Isometric Scapular Pinch Test and Lateral Scapular Slide Test.
An experimental study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of a single dry needling session, compared to a sham needling session, on pain intensity, local and peripheral hyperalgesia, and conditioned pain modulation in patients with chronic idiopathic neck pain.
This study investigates the feasibility of conducting a large scale Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to analyze the efficacy of the osteopathic consultation in reducing the intensity of pain and changing electromyographic activity in the musculature of the neck-shoulder region for the computer user's population.
Introduction: Neck Pain (NP) is considered a common idiopathic disorder in the general population. Oriented from incorrect executions during daily activities the DPO compromises the trapezius muscle that has a viscoelastic coating called fascia, which, in turn, is a soft tissue component, belonging to the connective tissue, that permeates the entire human body. During some activities that generate muscle overload, the fascia may undergo energy demands in which the local blood supply may be decreased, causing tissue hypoxia to result in pain. Decreased tissue blood supply could limit or prevent slippage of myofascial tissues. However, myofascial release can influence mechanoreceptors within the fascia, contributing to changes in local fluid dynamics, reducing excessive muscle tension, capillary constriction, and increasing local blood flow. One of the tools available for hemodynamic evaluation is the Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), which can quantify and capture variations in hemoglobin levels. Aim: To investigate whether myofascial release improves peripheral muscle oxygenation, pain intensity, and functional capacity of individuals with trapezius muscle pain. Methods: It is a clinical, parallel, randomized, double blind controlled trial with three groups that will be divided into: experimental, Sham and control. The instruments to be used in the research will be: Pressure Algometer, Neck Disability Index Questionnaire, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), NIRS and Electromyograph. The experimental group will receive a myofascial release protocol for 20 minutes once weekly for six weeks. The Sham group will receive a continuous surface slip technique for the same time and frequency and the control will perform the evaluation and re-evaluation. Results: The present research is expected to increase peripheral muscle oxygenation, decrease pain threshold and improve quality of life after 6 weeks of intervention.
This study is expected to demonstrate that during experimental days of seated computer work sustained and focalized low-level muscle activity contributes to the development of long-lasting fatigue effects (and thus possible disorder). On days with and without frequent interruptions, signs of fatigue and the activity pattern of the trapeze muscle are registered and compared using electromyographic registrations of the trapezius muscle.
