简要总结

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of classical massage on pain, muscle sensitivity, muscle activity, functional status, and quality of life in individuals with myofascial pain syndrome, and to compare the effectiveness of classical massage applied alone versus in combination with a conventional physiotherapy program.

结局指标

主要结局

Pain Intensity

时间窗: 6 weeks

The primary outcome of this study is pain intensity, will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a 10-cm scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain), with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.

次要结局

  • Pressure Pain Threshold-Algometer(6 weeks)
  • Muscle Activity(6 weeks)
  • Functional Status (Neck Disability Index)(6 weeks)
  • Quality of Life (SF-12)(6 weeks)
