About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Myofascial Pain Syndromes

Eligibility Criteria

21 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Chronic neck and shoulder pain for at least 6 months, refractory with other conservative treatments Presents at baseline with pain score greater than 50mm on 100mm length VAS. Pain score will be measured as overall pain over the 7 days preceding the visit during activities Active trigger point (TrP) defined as a tender spot localised in a taut band of muscle fibres associated with tenderness AND referred pain recognised by the patient into well-defined areas that are remote from the TrP area at palpation AND preferably local twitch response at palpation AND/OR jump sign at palpation Exclusion Criteria: Disc/bone disease History of surgery on neck Neurological deficits, neuromuscular junction disorder, Motor Neuron disease Patient has received anesthetic injections to the target trigger point within 4 weeks of study enrolment, or corticosteroid injections within 3 months Systemic inflammatory disease Hypersensitivity to Dysport® Diffuse tender points, or diagnosed with fibromyalgia Previous electrical stimulation Previous injection of Dysport® within 6 months of study enrolment

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Changes in mean pain measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be assessed.
Number of patients in percentage whose pain intensity measured by VAS decreases to less than 50% of baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pain threshold measured by pressure algometer.
Neck Pain and Disability scale (NPAD) and Global Assessment of Impairment Scale (GAS) will be assessed.
