Filter by:Up to 77% of patients with chronic shoulder pain have a trigger point (TrP) in the infraspinatus muscle. These TrPs can lead to pain, limitation of activities and reduced quality of life. Dry needling (DN) is gaining popularity as a treatment for TrPs in physiotherapy. However, its clinical effects remain poorly understood mechanistically and its neurophysiological effects little studied. The primary objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of a larger scale study. The secondary objective of this study is to to explore the immediate neurophysiological, biomechanical and clinical effects of DN and sham needling when applied to TrP of the infraspinatus muscle in people with chronic non-traumatic shoulder pain.
To determine the effects of Dry Needling and Strain Counter Strain Technique in Myofascial Trigger Points of Upper Trapezius
Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome (PMPS) is a chronic pain that persists for more than three months after a surgical breast procedure. It has 11-70% incidence in patients that underwent a breast surgery. It consists of mixed pain, frequently associated with myofascial pain, an specific type of muscular pain. Trigger point injections (TPI) are classically used for the treatment of myofascial pain in other painful conditions. However, there are no controlled trials assessing the efficacy of TPI in the treatment of PMPS. The intervention objective is to assess the efficacy of TPI in patients with PMPS, when associated with a comprehensive rehabilitation program and pain management.
To compare the effect of sustain pressure and Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique on individuals with upper trapezius Trigger points (TrPs). The Study Design was Randomized control trial. According to inclusive criteria 26 patients were randomly allocated by sealed envelope method in experimental and control group. Patients were assessed at baseline and 4th day of session on NPRS, NDI questionnaire and ranges were taken by Goniometer and pressure threshold by Algometer. There was 3 drop out and the reason was loss of follow up. Hot pack was applied to both groups for 10mints before session. Sustain pressure was given for 3sec hold and 2sec release till pain decreases in control group. While, in experimental group INIT was used. Sustain pressure was applied on MTrPs for 3sec hold and 2sec release till pain decreases, Post isometric relaxation (MET) was given with 6-10 sec hold and repeat 4 times and at last Strain counter-strain (SCS) was given to hold muscle in shortest position for 90sec or pain reduced to 3 out of 10. At last cervical stretches were given and home plan was guided.
The objective will be to determine the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis versus ultrasound-guided dry needling in active myofascial trigger points of the levator scapulae muscle on pain intensity, disability and range of motion. A randomized clinical trial will be carried out. Fifty-four patients with at least one active myofascial trigger point in the levator scapulae muscle were recruited and divided into ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis (n = 27) and ultrasound-guided dry needling (n=27). Pain intensity, disability and range of motion will measured before, immediately after and 1 week after intervention.
Our purpose is to determine the incidence of trigger points in patients who remain in a fixed position for a long time during lumbar disc herniation surgery.
Randomized clinical trial in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Main outcomes were as follows: pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, lower limb balance and range of motion. The sample will be divided in two groups: 1) dry needling at the gluteus medius trigger point (intervention). 2) dry needling 1,5 cm from the gluteus medius trigger point (control).
Ultrasound was used to identify the location of a rib. This was compared to a practitioner's ability to palpate the area.
This study was planned to investigate the effects of Trigger Point-Dry Needling Therapy (TP-DNT) on night pain and Shoulder Internal Rotation (SIR) in individuals with Subacromial Pain Syndrome (SPS).
To see if there is there any difference in the treatment outcomes/results such as changes in pain intensity in patients with myofascial pain who have been treated with trigger point injections or twin block?
