简要总结
To evaluate pain quality by pain quality assessment scale (PQAS) using lidocaine phonophoresis on myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in athletic children.
详细描述
Forty five males athletic swimmer children (10 to 14 years old) with MPS in the upper trapezius muscle were evaluated before and after treatment. They were randomly divided into three groups, n=15 children each. A (control), B and C (study groups). The three groups received spatial designed physical therapy program. The two study groups received pulsed ultrasound and lidocaine phonophoresis repectively. The duration of treatment was 40 minutes, three times / weeks for three successive months.

- •Restricted range of motion in lateral bending of the cervical spine to the opposite side.
- •Palpation of a trigger point elicits a stereotypic zone of referred pain specific to that muscle.
