Conditions

Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Brief summary

Pathologies in the trapezius muscle and rhomboid muscle are important in the course and treatment of the disease in patients with myofascial pain syndrome.

Detailed description

In this study, the role of the thickness of these muscles and the shift during movement in the activity and diagnosis of the disease in myofascial pain syndrome will be investigated.

Interventions

DEVICEUltrasonographic measurements of the trapezius and rhomboid muscle and fascia

B mode measurements Trapezius and rhomboid muscle thickness and fascial thickness measurement M mode measurements Abduction at 90 and 180 degrees Forward flexion at 90 and 180 degrees

Under ultrasound guidance, a local anesthetic and steroid mixture will be injected into the fascia between the trapezius muscle and the rhomboid muscle.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Trapezius muscle and rhomboid muscle thickness20 minuteTrapezius and rhomboid muscle thickness and fascial thickness measurement will be made by ultrasonography at rest.
fascial sliding20 minuteMeasurements of the amount of slip measured during the movement of the fascial structures during shoulder and arm movements. ultrasonography M-mode measurements Arm from the shoulder joint, cervical lateral flexion, cervical anterior flexion, shoulder elevation

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
VAS6 th monthvisual analog scale (VAS) :for pain. 0: no pain at all, 10: worst pain imaginable
NPDS6th monthNeck and Disability Scale (NPDS): The 20-item Neck and Disability Scale is scored on a 10 cm visual analog scale and ranges from 0 to 5 points. The test aims to measure the impact of neck pain on quality of life, functionality, and disability.
SF-126th monthShort Form 12 (SF-12): The SF-12 form, which includes scales to assess physical (SF-12-PCS) and mental (SF-12-MCS) status, was created by taking 12 different items from 8 other titles of the SF-36, which is the extended version. Interpretation of Scores: Utilize the norm-based scoring system to interpret PCS and MCS scores, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the general population. Scores above 50 indicate a better-than-average health-related quality of life, while scores below 50 suggest below-average health.
