Active clinical trials for "Myofascial Pain Syndromes"

This randomised-controlled trial investigates whether a single intervention of manual pressure release combined with stretching exercise has an effect on muscle length, pain perception threshold, and respiratory function in subjects with latent myofascial trigger point in the pectoralis minor muscle or not. First quarter of the participants will receive a single intervention of manual pressure release combined with contract-relax PNF stretching exercise of pectoralis minor muscle, second quarter of the participants will receive a single intervention of manual pressure release combined with Z stretching exercise of pectoralis minor muscle while, only a single intervention of manual pressure release will be applied to third quarter of the participants and final quarter of them will not receive any intervention.

The purpose of this study is to perform an efficacy study of Personal Construct Therapy, which focuses on the construction of self and others, for women diagnosed with fibromyalgia who have also comorbid depressive symptoms. To that aim, it will be compared with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an already well-established treatment in this area.

This study evaluates the benefits of probiotics in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.

The goal of this observational study is to determine the relationship between Lymphedema and Myofascial Pain Syndrome in Breast Cancer Patients. The main questions it aims to answer: Is there a relationship between the stage of lymphedema and the frequency of accompanying myofascial pain syndrome in the breast cancer patients? Does the existence of lymphedema in breast cancer patients affect the distribution and the pain threshold values of trigger points seen in Myofascial Pain Syndrome? What is the impact of Myofascial pain syndrome seen in breast cancer associted lymhedema patients on upper extremity function and quality of life?

The main objective of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of the FIBROWALK multicomponent treatment program as coadjuvant of treatment-as-usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone.

To compare the effects of dry needling and Foam roller in myofascial trigger points. Needling has been shown to decrease pain in the short term; however, its effects on muscle force production are unclear. There are differences between dry needling and foam roller after treatment?

The management of chronic pains is challenging and fraught with limitations. Fibromyalgia is a common pain disorder characterized by chronic widespread pains, associated with fatigue and impaired quality of life. Fibromyalgia affects millions of people and is among the most common reasons for consulting with a rheumatologist. The food and drug administration (FDA) approved three medications to treat fibromyalgia, though there are many patients for whom these medications are ineffective, poorly tolerated or cost-prohibitive. Accordingly, there exists a need for novel therapeutics. The researchers would like to test the therapeutic efficacy of a non-pharmacologic non-interventional bedside technique called vestibular caloric stimulation (VCS). VCS, irrigating the external ear canal with water, is a simple, non-invasive, cost-free procedure with preliminary data suggesting potential for improving pain. VCS is a form of neuromodulation and there are anatomically defined pathways elucidated to help explain how this works. There currently exists limited data on the topic, only case reports and case series. Given a clear need for additional therapeutics in many patients with fibromyalgia, the researchers have elected to conduct this trial.

108 myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) diagnosed patients will be randomly divided into 3 groups. To groups; exercise, exercise+high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and exercise+dry needling will be applied. Visual anolog scale (VAS) scores and neck range of motion (ROM) of the patients before-after treatment will be recorded and will be evaluated statistically.

The purpose of the study is to find the effects of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on upper trapezius trigger points in patients with non specific neck pain. A randomized control trial was conducted at Iqbal hospital. The sample size was 24calculated through open-epitool.But 30 patients were added in the study to increase the statistical power of analysis.The participants were divided into two interventional groups each having 15 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was Purposive sampling for recruitment and group randomization using sealed envelope method. Only 25 to 45 years participants (both male and female) with upper trapezius trigger points and non specific neck pain of less than 3 months were included in the study. Tools that were used in this study are NDI questionnaire, NPRS and inclinometer. Data was collected at baseline , 2nd and 4th of treatment. Data was analyzed through SPSS version 20.

This study aims to examine the effect of deep tissue massage (DTM) on myofascial trigger point (MTrP) number, neck range of motion (ROM), pain, disability and quality of life in patients with Myofacial pain syndrome (MPS).
