Ultrasonographic Muscles and Fascia Measurement With Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Myofascial Pain Syndrome
• Interventions: Device: Ultrasonographic measurements of the trapezius and rhomboid muscle and fascia

• Registration Number: NCT05359523
• Lead Sponsor: Bursa Yüksek İhtisas Education and Research Hospital

Brief Summary

Pathologies in the trapezius muscle and rhomboid muscle are important in the course and treatment of the disease in patients with myofascial pain syndrome.

Detailed Description

In this study, the role of the thickness of these muscles and the shift during movement in the activity and diagnosis of the disease in myofascial pain syndrome will be investigated.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Patients diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome	Ultrasonographic measurements of the trapezius and rhomboid muscle and fascia	Ultrasound measurements will be made while the upper back is at rest and during arm movements.
Healthy volunteers	Ultrasonographic measurements of the trapezius and rhomboid muscle and fascia	Ultrasound measurements will be made while the upper back is at rest and during arm movements.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Trapezius muscle and rhomboid muscle thickness	20 minute	Trapezius and rhomboid muscle thickness and fascial thickness measurement will be made by ultrasonography at rest.
fascial sliding	20 minute	Measurements of the amount of slip measured during the movement of the fascial structures during shoulder and arm movements.; ultrasonography M-mode measurements Arm from the shoulder joint, cervical lateral flexion, cervical anterior flexion, shoulder elevation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
VAS	6 th month	visual analog scale (VAS) :for pain. 0: no pain at all, 10: worst pain imaginable
NPDS	6th month	Neck and Disability Scale (NPDS): The 20-item Neck and Disability Scale is scored on a 10 cm visual analog scale and ranges from 0 to 5 points. The test aims to measure the impact of neck pain on quality of life, functionality, and disability.
SF-12	6th month	Short Form 12 (SF-12): The SF-12 form, which includes scales to assess physical (SF-12-PCS) and mental (SF-12-MCS) status, was created by taking 12 different items from 8 other titles of the SF-36, which is the extended version.; Interpretation of Scores: Utilize the norm-based scoring system to interpret PCS and MCS scores, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the general population.; Scores above 50 indicate a better-than-average health-related quality of life, while scores below 50 suggest below-average health.
