The Effects of Traditional Thal Self-massage Using Wilai Massage Sticktm in Patients on Upper Trapezius with Myofascial Trigger Points: a Randomized Control Trial
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of traditional Thai self-massage using Wilai massage stickTM in patient with upper trapezius with myofascial trigger points. Sixty patients were randomly allocated to either a massage group using Wilai massage stickTM or a medication group. Both groups were advised to have the same daily stretching exercise. Pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT) and tissue hardness were assessed at baseline, and the fifth day after the last treatment session. The results showed that after 5 days of treatment, there are significant improvement in all assessment time points (p<0.05). The adjusted post-test mean values for pain intensity, PPT and tissue hardness were significantly better in the massage group than medication group (p<0.05). We conclude that traditional Thai self-massage using Wilai massage stickTM provides better results than taking medication for patients who have upper trapezius pain associated with MTrPs.
