Dry needle stimulation of myofascial trigger points evokes segmental anti-nociceptive effects.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that dry needle stimulation of a myofascial trigger point (sensitive locus) evokes segmental anti-nociceptive effects. DESIGN Double-blind randomized controlled trial. SUBJECTS Forty subjects (21 males, 19 females). METHODS Test subjects received intramuscular dry needle puncture to a right supraspinatus trigger point (C4,5); controls received sham intramu...
متن کاملMyofascial trigger points.
Painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system, including myofascial pain syndrome, constitute some of the most important chronic problems encountered in a clinical practice. A myofascial trigger points is a hyperirritable spot, usually within a taut band of skeletal muscle, which is painful on compression and can give rise to characteristic referred pain, motor dysfunction, and autonomic phe...
متن کاملEtiology of Myofascial Trigger Points
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is described as the sensory, motor, and autonomic symptoms caused by myofascial trigger points (TrPs). Knowing the potential causes of TrPs is important to prevent their development and recurrence, but also to inactivate and eliminate existing TrPs. There is general agreement that muscle overuse or direct trauma to the muscle can lead to the development of TrPs. M...
متن کاملTherapeutic effects of dry needling in patients with upper trapezius myofascial trigger points
BACKGROUND Active myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are major pain generators in myofascial pain syndrome. Dry needling (DN) is an effective method for the treatment of MTrPs. OBJECTIVE To assess the immediate neurophysiological and clinical effects of DN in patients with upper trapezius MTrPs. METHODS This was a prospective, clinical trial study of 20 patients with upper trapezius MTrPs an...
متن کاملQuantification of dry needling and posture effects on myofascial trigger points using ultrasound shear-wave elastography.
OBJECTIVES To determine (1) whether the shear modulus in upper trapezius muscle myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) reduces acutely after dry needling (DN), and (2) whether a change in posture from sitting to prone affects the shear modulus. DESIGN Ultrasound images were acquired in B mode with a linear transducer oriented in the transverse plane, followed by performance of shear-wave elastogra...
