Brief Summary:
Myofascial pain can be diagnosed by the presence of one or more myofascial trigger points MTrPs defined as hyperirritable spots in taut bands of skeletal muscle fibers palpable by hand The treatment of myofascial pain primarily relies on the inactivation of MTrPs often through manual pressure techniques or dry needling In manual pressure techniques the physiotherapist applies increasing pressure directly to the MTrP In dry needling acupuncture-like filiform needles are applied to the same point There are two types of dry needling superficial dry needling which penetrates only the skin and superficial muscle and deep dry needling which involves inserting a needle directly into the MTrP The sole or adjunct effectiveness of dry needling treatment targeting the trapezius and infraspinatus muscles has been investigated particularly in patients with shoulder myofascial pain syndrome In the study we are planning a double-blinded efficacy trial will be conducted in patients with shoulder myofascial pain syndrome where real and sham dry needling applications will be performed under ultrasound guidance with both the patient and the evaluator blinded This study design has the potential to make a significant contribution to the literature in this field
Detailed Description:
It is planned to enroll 50 patients aged between 18 and 80 years who have been diagnosed with Shoulder Myofascial Pain Syndrome into the study After signing informed consent forms eligible patients will be randomized into two different groups using a random number table randomizerorg according to inclusion and exclusion criteria In the study neither the patient nor the evaluator will know which group they are in only the physician administering the dry needling treatment will be aware At the beginning of the study during weekly follow-ups and at the end of the study non-interventional assessment tests will be conducted Minimal intervention drug-free dry needling treatment will be administered to patients twice in total once a week each session lasting approximately 10-20 minutes with ultrasonographic guidance Throughout the study period all patients in both groups will be instructed in detail on the daily exercises they need to perform trapezius stretching and infraspinatus stretching exercises as well as on important considerations avoiding prolonged static positions etc They will be encouraged to perform these exercises daily and mark their completion Additionally they will be informed about the selection and usage of medications only paracetamol that they can use when necessary along with instructions on adherence and marking on the provided follow-up form The entire process will be monitored weekly through the follow-up form provided to the patients
