About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - 45 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with myofascial pain syndrome at unilateral upper trapezius muscle and had pain score (Visual analog scale) at least 4

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with signs and/or symptoms of neurological deficit
  • Patients with history of cervical hernia, cervical radiculopathy, cervical myelopathy, fibromyalgia, whiplash spondylosis and cervical spinal stenosis.
  • Patients who received physical therapy/injection/surgery at neck or pain area in last 6 months.
  • Patients with abnormal coagulopathy and/or currently use anticoagulant medicine.
  • Patients with cardiac device.
  • Patients with history of aneurysm clip procedure, stent-coils procedure or cochlear implant surgery.
  • Pregnancy

Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation 1 session

Dry Needling 1 session

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change of Visual analog scale
Pain measurement Score from 0-10, 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Neck disability index
Disability secondary to neck pain Score from 0-50, 0 means no disability and 50 means complete disability. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Change of Visual analog scale
Description
Pain measurement Score from 0-10, 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain. Higher scores mean worse outcome.
Time Frame
Change from baseline Visual analog scale at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline visual analog scale at 1 week and Change from baseline Visual analog scale at 4 weeks
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Neck disability index
Description
Disability secondary to neck pain Score from 0-50, 0 means no disability and 50 means complete disability. Higher scores mean worse outcome.
Time Frame
Change from baseline Neck disability index at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline Neck disability index at 1 week and Change from baseline Neck disability index at 4 weeks
Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures:
Title
Pain pressure threshold
Description
The minimum pressure that induces pain in trigger point. Higher scores mean better outcome.
Time Frame
Change from baseline Pain pressure threshold at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline Pain pressure threshold at 1 week and Change from baseline Pain pressure threshold at 4 weeks
