Efficacy of Low Level Laser Therapy for Treatment Myofascial Trigger Points of Shoulder Pain
Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are recognized by many clinicians to be one of the most common causes of pain and dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system. Low-level laser Therapy (LLLT) is a relatively uncommon, non-invasive treatment for musculoskeletal pain, in which non-thermal laser irradiation is applied to sites of pain. Forty patients with MTrPs of shoulder pain were randomly assigne...
متن کاملLaser therapy and needling in myofascial trigger point deactivation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate different approaches to deactivating myofascial trigger points (MTPs). Twenty-one women with bilateral MTPs in the masseter muscle were randomly divided into three groups: laser therapy, needle treatment and control. Treatment effectiveness was evaluated after four sessions with intervals ranging between 48 and 72 h. Quantitative and qualitative methods wer...
متن کاملComparing the Effect of Shockwave Therapy and Low Level Laser on Treatment of the Myofascial Trigger Points of Trapezius Muscles: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Background and Objectives: Muscles are known as organs which can generate pain in human body. Among different types of muscle pain, myofascial trigger points (MTPs) are very common. The aim of this study was comparing the effect of shockwave therapy (SWT) and low level laser therapy (LLLT) on the treatment of the MTPs of trapezius muscles. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial ...
متن کاملTherapeutic effects of dry needling in patients with upper trapezius myofascial trigger points
BACKGROUND Active myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are major pain generators in myofascial pain syndrome. Dry needling (DN) is an effective method for the treatment of MTrPs. OBJECTIVE To assess the immediate neurophysiological and clinical effects of DN in patients with upper trapezius MTrPs. METHODS This was a prospective, clinical trial study of 20 patients with upper trapezius MTrPs an...
متن کاملQuantification of dry needling and posture effects on myofascial trigger points using ultrasound shear-wave elastography.
OBJECTIVES To determine (1) whether the shear modulus in upper trapezius muscle myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) reduces acutely after dry needling (DN), and (2) whether a change in posture from sitting to prone affects the shear modulus. DESIGN Ultrasound images were acquired in B mode with a linear transducer oriented in the transverse plane, followed by performance of shear-wave elastogra...
