Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the surface electromyography (EGM) changes between dry needling in the upper trapezius, is a prevalence tonic fiber or lower trapezius is a prevalence phasic fiber.
This study would be the first study to assess the immediate effects of dry needling of latent trigger points of the gastrocnemius muscle on muscle stiffness, gait, range of motion, and strength. The study has the potential to demonstrate that dry needling may have immediate effects on mechanical properties of muscle and may thus guide future treatment for individuals with changes in muscle tissue secondary to pain and/or injury.
Aim of this study is to investigate effectiveness of myofascial releasing on neck pain related to trigger points located on upper cervical region.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of Deep dry needling of active myofascial trigger points present in muscles of the neck and shoulder region in orchestral musicians.
Self paring study, double blind placebo controlled with chronic tinnitus patients attended at the Tinnitus Research Group HC- FMUSP, complaining of neck and/or cervical pain and with myofascial trigger point in the head, neck and/or shoulder. They were submitted to a complete otolaryngologist evaluation which included history, physical examination and myofascial trigger point checkup. Patients also performed blood tests, tonal and vocal audiometry, and psychoacoustic tinnitus measures. Self paring study, double blind placebo controlled. Each patient will be subjected to the dry needling placebo, 4 sessions, 1 per week, with placebo stretching, followed by washout period of two weeks, and 4 more dry needling therapeutic sessions and active stretching. On the first day of the study will be conducted the following evaluation: questionnaires THI and NDI, quantification of cervical pain and tinnitus through the Visual analogue scale (VAS), search and confirmation of the presence of PGM and cervical pain, psychoacoustic measures and somatic tests. This evaluation will be repeated at the end of the four placebo sessions, at the beginning of therapeutic needling sessions and at the end of the same.
To date, there are not studies about the effectiveness of dry needling versus ischemic compression in the triceps surae trigger points. A randomized clinical trial is carried out. A sample of 30 subjects are recruited and allocated into dry needling (n = 15) and ischemic compression (n = 15). Outcome measurements such as dorsal flexion range of motion, plantar pressures, temperature, superficial muscle activity and trigger points pressure pain threshold are measured immediately before and after treatment.
This is a clinical trial that will be done in the state of Kuwait, at the physical rehabilitation medicine hospital. the participants will be recruited from all over Kuwait, there is a clinical registry upon the ethical committee in Kuwait assigned by the ministry of health.
Hypothesis The application of intramuscular electrostimulation will be more effectiveness than the dry needling in myofascial trigger points treatment. Objetives: To determine the effectiveness of intramuscular electrostimulation in the treatment of trigger points of the levator scapula muscle for the improvement of pain in mechanical cervicalgia. Participants: Subjects with diagnosed of myofascial pain syndrome in cervical region and active trigger points in levator scapulae muscle, randomly assigned to experimental or control group. Intervention: Control group: one session of dry needling in active trigger points; experimental group: one session of intramuscular stimulation in active trigger points. Main Outcomes Measures: Pain, pressure pain threshold (PPT), active cervical range of motion and strength muscle . The measures will be taken before, after and one week after the interventions.
This research study because is looking at woman with symptoms of chronic pelvic pain caused by short, tight, and tender pelvic floor muscles (Myofascial Pelvic Pain syndrome). The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not injections with onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) improve symptoms of pain and tenderness. The drug being studied, Botox is FDA approved for other uses. However, Botox is not FDA approved for the use in myofascial pelvic pain (MPP). Therefore, Botox is considered experimental or research in this study.
