Active clinical trials for "Myofascial Pain Syndromes"

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.

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of ischemic compression and IASTM techniques on pain, EHA, functionality, anxiety and depression in patients with the diagnosis of RM tear and presence of ATN. In addition, ischemic compression and EDYDM methods were aimed to compare and to reveal which application would be more useful.

The main aim of this study is to find out whether applying both pain neuroscience education (PNE) and motor imagery-based exercise protocol (MIEP) will primarily reduce the pain of fibromyalgia. These therapies could show an evidence of improvement in fibromyalgia patients. However, there are no studies evaluating their effectiveness in combination. Secondary outcomes: To assess motor imagery ability of PNE in fibromyalgia patients To assess motor imagery ability of MIEP in fibromyalgia patients To evaluate the motor imagery ability of PNE+MIEP combined in fibromyalgia patients To evaluate pain beliefs of PNE in fibromyalgia patients To assess the pain beliefs of MIEP in fibromyalgia patients Combined PNE+MIEP to assess pain beliefs in fibromyalgia patients. To assess fear of movement in fibromyalgia patients of PNE To assess fear of movement in fibromyalgia patients of MIEP Combined PNE+MIEP to assess fear of movement in patients with fibromyalgia PNE to assess anxiety, depression, cognitive and mood in patients with fibromyalgia. To assess anxiety, depression, cognitive and mood in patients with fibromyalgia MIEP To evaluate anxiety, depression, cognitive and mood in patients with fibromyalgia together with PNE+MIEP PNE to assess self-esteem and body awareness in fibromyalgia patients. To assess self-esteem and body awareness in fibromyalgia patients of MIEP Combined PNE+MIEP to assess self-esteem and body awareness in fibromyalgia patients.

the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of core exercises on health status, pain, pressure pain thresholds and functional capacity in patients with FM

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of social media usage on pain catastrophizing and disease impact in female individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome.

The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of a single-session of Radiofrequency in patients with Fibromyalgia in comparison to a placebo group.

Effectiveness of dry needling and stretching on joint range and myofascial pain at the cervical level in people with fibromyalgia

Context/background: people affected by fibromyalgia see their own life totally disturbed after the diagnosis. This disease also courses, apart from the functional and depressing worsening, with internal damage manifested by a cardio respiratory deterioration. There are not many clinical studies publications about this disease given that is considered a weird illness with short prognosis. Objectives: to examine the effects of the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on respiratory muscle strength, lumbar pain, quality of life, phase angle and body composition in patients with Fibromyalgia. The participants of experimental group will conduct 5 sets of 10 inspirations per day, 5 days per week, through 8 weeks.

This study evaluates the deep dry needling technique as a percutaneous technique included in the professional field of physiotherapy. The project quantifies a significant limit on the number of local twitch responses necessary for the favorable treatment of myofascial pain and analyzes the injury degree and/or the repair of myofascial tissue, with "Elastography".

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a functional exercise program associated with Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on pain, functional capacity and quality of life of individuals with fibromyalgia. Half of participants will receive functional exercise and LLLT, while the other half will receive functional exercise and placebo LLLT.
