About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 50 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The participants have experienced spontaneous scapular pain for longer than 12 weeks (chronic) and that at least one trigger point will be present in the muscles surrounding the scapula. Trigger points will be diagnosed as the presence of focal tenderness in a taut band and with pain recognition.
  • The participants will be able to follow instructions.
  • Good communication and cooperation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Shoulder impingement syndrome
  • Adhesive capsulitis
  • Shoulder instability
  • Shoulder arthritides
  • Shoulder dislocation and/or bone fracture
  • Hypermobility of shoulder joint
  • Open wound
  • Drug and/or alcohol intoxication
  • Contraindications of mobilization

Sites / Locations

  • School of Health Science, Mae Fah Luang University

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

Scapular mobilization

Control

Arm Description

The participants will receive a twenty minutes session of scapular mobilization onto the scapular

Rest on the bed for twenty minutes

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pain score on Visual analog scale
The intensity of pain will be reported by the participant on a visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 10. Zero indicates no pain anywhere and 10 indicates the most pain ever experienced.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pressure Pain Threshold as a measure by pressure algometry
Anxiety on State Anxiety Inventory
Scapular range of motion
Patient satisfaction level
