Brief Summary:
Myofascial pain is a concept that refers to pain from trigger points. The region of the upper trapezius muscle is the most common region of myofascial pain syndrome (MAS). It is known that MAS is associated with disruptions in the fascia. It has been observed that kinesio taping supports healing by increasing the epidermal dermal distance. It is thought that the EDF (Epidermis Dermis Fascia) technique provides this effect on the fascia. This idea needs to be put forward with objective data and the study was designed for this purpose. It has been observed that kinesio taping with the inhibition technique for the upper trapezius trigger point has a positive effect on pain and function. Therefore, it will be investigated whether the EDF technique and the inhibition technique have any advantages over each other. An exercise program will be applied to all three groups in the study design, so whether taping provides an additional benefit to fascia smoothness, pain and function will be examined and the 4-week long-term effect of taping, which is mostly short-term effect, will be revealed.
Detailed Description:
Myofascial pain is a concept that refers to pain from myofascial trigger points. Certain small, hardened, tender areas in the muscle that can be identified by palpation are called trigger points. The upper trapezius is the most common area of myofascial pain syndrome. Working at a desk for a long time and doing intense overhead activities are among the important reasons for this. Individuals who experience myofascial pain with an upper trapezius trigger point are adversely affected in many ways professionally and socially. The pathophysiological process that causes this pain is also related to fascia involvement. It is thought that a taping application that will provide a corrective effect on the fascia will reduce myofascial pain symptoms. The study was designed with the aim of demonstrating that it provides this with objective data.
Kinesio taping increases the epidermal-dermal distance and provides an effect that accelerates the healing after injury. It has been widely preferred in our country and in other countries before, and there is literature support that it can be used safely. It is seen that the inhibition technique is frequently preferred when taping is used in the presence of an upper trapezius trigger point. It is thought that trigger point symptoms will be reduced by inhibiting the upper trapezius muscle to a certain extent with this technique, and some studies in which this effect is achieved are included in the literature. Another taping technique, the Epidermis Dermis Fascia technique (EDF), has been reported to have a healing effect on fascia as clinical opinion, but there is a lack of evidence in the relevant literature.
At the end of the study, the answers to the questions of whether the inhibition technique, which is one of the frequently used techniques, or the epidermis dermis fascia technique, which is at the forefront with its effect on fascia, will be more effective on fascia smoothness, pain and function will be found. With the provision of fascia correction, it is aimed to reduce pain and increase function. It is thought that these gains will reduce the negative effects of myofascial pain.
In addition to taping, two groups will be given an exercise program with proven effect of reducing pain and increasing function in myofascial pain syndrome. The program will include ischemic compression and posture exercises.
The aspects that have not been revealed in previous studies and are considered to be deficiencies are as follows: Which tape technique should be used, which one can be more beneficial? In which of the parameters of pain, function and fascia smoothness will the benefit be valid? What is the long-term effect of kinesio taping, which has a pain-reducing and function-enhancing effect in the short term?
