简要总结
To investigate the effectiveness of muscle inhibition and space correction techniques of kinesiotaping (KT) method; on pain, functional status and quality of life in female patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) related to upper trapezius active trigger points (TP) in comparison to control group and to determine the advantage of each technique over another.
详细描述
The investigators conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled trial involving 93 female patients with MPS related to upper trapezius TPs and randomized the patients to KT treatment group with space correction technique and home exercise program (KSCT, n=20), KT treatment group with muscle inhibition technique and home exercise program (KMIT, n=24) and control group (CG, n=27) which received home exercise program only. Patients were evaluated by numerical rating scale (NRS) for their average and maximum pain intensity, Turkish version of neck disability index (NDI), and short form-36 (SF-36) scales. Statistical tests were conducted at the 0.05 significance level for all outcome measures.
