简要总结
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of kinesio tape and dry needling in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome of the trapezius muscle.
详细描述
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common problem with manifesting itself such as trigger points, taut bands, range of motion limitations and pain. One of the most common place for MPS is neck region and trapezius muscle is the common cause of these symptoms and 9 different trigger point location has been identified on trapezius muscle. Myofascial trigger points, characterized by hypersensitive nodules, can be palpated in stretched bands in the affected muscles. In order to eliminate trigger points fascial releasing, dry needling, kinesio taping and other physical therapy applications can be used.
Although there are several studies investigating the effectiveness of Kinesio taping (KT) and Dry needling(DN) methods in MPS, it is controversial which one is superior to others.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of exercise, KT, and DN methods on pain and disability in the treatment of upper trapezoidal muscle MPS.

结局指标
主要结局
Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) Measurement
时间窗: two weeks
Pain pressure threshold (PPT). was assessed with an analogue algometry (Baseline, FEl Inc. White Plains, NY,USA) with 1 cm2 rubber tip was used to measure the pain pressure threshold. Algometer perpendicularly placed over spinous process of T1 on prone position and pressure progressively increased 1 kg/s until patients verbally reported pain under the tip of algometer or referring pain. Measurement repeated three times and average score recorded.
次要结局
- Visual analog scale(two weeks)
- Global Perceived Effect Scale(two weeks)
- Neck Disability Index(two weeks)
