Myofascial Trigger Points of the Shoulder
Shoulder problems are common, with a 1-year prevalence ranging from 4.7% to 46.7% and a lifetime prevalence of 6.7% to 66.7%.Many different structures give rise to shoulder pain, including the structures in the subacromial space, such as the subacromial bursa, the rotator cuff, and the long head of biceps, and are presented in various lessons. Muscle and specifically myofascial trigger points (...
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 کاملPainful and tender muscles: dry needling can reduce myofascial pain related to trigger points muscles.
T rigger points are irritable, hard “knots” within a muscle that may cause pain over a large area, leading to difficulty performing everyday tasks. When a trigger point is touched, it hurts and can also cause pain in nearby areas (see illustration). When a person has painful muscles and trigger points, it is sometimes called myofascial pain syndrome. Common locations for these problems are the ...
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...
متن کاملDry needling of trigger points with and without paraspinal needling in myofascial pain syndromes in elderly patients.
OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacies of dry needling of trigger points (TrPs) with and without paraspinal needling in myofascial pain syndrome of elderly patients. DESIGN Single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. SUBJECTS Forty (40) subjects, between the ages of 63 and 90 with myofascial pain syndrome of the upper trapezius muscle. INTERVENTIONS Eighteen (18) subjects were treated with...
