Brief Summary:
Two groups of patients diagnosed with Myofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome (MPDS) will be included in this study. One group will receive trigger point injections of lidocaine alone. The other group will receive trigger point injections of lidocaine combined with magnesium sulfate. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of both treatments in reducing pain and improving muscle function. Patients will be assessed using a pain scale (VAS) and surface electromyography (sEMG) to measure muscle activity.
Detailed Description:
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate whether adding magnesium sulfate to lidocaine in trigger point injections provides better pain relief and muscle relaxation in patients with Myofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome (MPDS) compared to lidocaine alone.
Participants diagnosed with MPDS will be randomly assigned into one of two groups:
Group 1 (Control Group): Trigger point injection of lidocaine 2% Group 2 (Intervention Group): Trigger point injection of lidocaine 2% combined with magnesium sulfate 10% Each participant will receive injections in the identified myofascial trigger points. Pain during injection and after injection will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Muscle activity will be measured using surface electromyography (sEMG) at specific time points during rest and muscle contraction.
The study will compare the changes in pain scores and EMG readings between the two groups to determine whether magnesium sulfate enhances the analgesic and muscle-relaxing effects of lidocaine. The results of this study may help improve treatment strategies for MPDS and provide evidence for using magnesium sulfate as an adjuvant to lidocaine in trigger point injections.
