简要总结
Myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by the presence of hypersensitive points called trigger points that cause pain, tenderness, spasm, stiffness, limitation of movement, weakness, taut band within the muscle, and pain reflected by pressing in a muscle group or a single muscle.
Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment method in the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain, in which an irritating solution is injected, often hypertonic dextrose, into painful ligament and tendon attachments and adjacent joint spaces.
In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of prolotherapy application on pain, neck range of motion and neck disability in women with myofascial pain syndrome.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: First month post-treatment
0-10 cm visual scale (0: no pain, 10: most severe pain)
Neck Disability Index
时间窗: First month post-treatment
It measures the functional state of the neck by scoring between 0-5 points according to the severity of pain, consisting of 20 questions.
Neck joint range of motion measurement
时间窗: First month post-treatment
Active neck range of motion, which shows the movement of the neck in all directions, is evaluated by goniometric measurement.
次要结局
- Side effects(Through study completion, an average of 6 month.)
