OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to evaluate the usefulness of deep dry needling in the treatment of temporomandibular myofascial pain. STUDY DESIGN We selected 36 patients with myofascial pain located in the external pterygoid muscle (30 women/6 men, mean age=27 years with SD±6.5). We studied differences in pain with a visual analog scale and range of mandibular movements before and...

Purpose Myofascial trigger points are a common component of musculoskeletal neck pain. Capsaicin, a vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor agonist, has been shown to induce pain in human tendon tissues and to increase trigger point sensitivity in humans. TRPV1 receptor agonists, with repeated use, inhibit the initiation of transmission of pain-related neurotransmitters and may alleviate pain. This study ...

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies may perpetuate fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and chronic myofascial syndrome symptoms. Vitamin D supports healthy bone renewal, promotes normal cell growth and is a key factor in the maintenance of a healthy immune system. Moreover, low blood levels of Vitamin D are associated with pain and muscle weakness. Indeed new research released by the American Society of A...

BACKGROUND Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is a neuropathic pain syndrome associated with somatosensory abnormalities due to central nervous system lesion following a cerebrovascular insult. Post-stroke pain (PSP) refers to a broader range of clinical conditions leading to pain after stroke, but not restricted to CPSP, including other types of pain such as myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), painfu...

Introduction: Varicella-zoster virus may cause an infectious disease called Ramsay Hunt syndrome. The related symptoms include facial nerve palsy (FNP), otalgia, the vesicular eruptions of the auricle and external auditory canal, less common ocular movement disorder, facial hypoesthesia, myofascial pain, vestibular symptoms, hearing loss, dysphasia, vocal cord paralysis, as well as tongue paral...

Myofascial pain is very often underscored and misunderstood in clinical practice. In many cases the localization of myofascial pain may resemble other diseases, such as radicular syndromes (e.g., low back pain from herniated disc) and even diseases of internal organs (e.g., angina pectoris, bowel diseases or gynaecological disturbances). In pain clinics one can routinely see patients with myofa...

Many jobs have health risks caused by unergonomic posture while working for a long time. One of the disorders that often occurs is myofascial pain syndrome. If ignored, there will be disruption in neck function. Contract-relax stretching can reduce and spasm muscles, McKenzie exercise restore cervical intervertebral disc to its normal position disability. This research aimed determine differenc...
