No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of localized vibration and dry needling applied to the trigger point in the individuals with acute myofascial pain syndrome.Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was used for the primary outcome measure of the study, and pain intensity, pain tolerance and short form (SF-36) were used for secondary outcome measures.

Conditions

  • Myofascial Pain Syndrome
  • Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial

Interventions

OTHER

Dry needle

Local twitch responses (LTRs) were obtained by multiple rapid insertions of the needle in and out of the point, similar to Hong's rapid-entry and rapid exit technique. Hong 1994). The needle was not removed from that site for the maximum stimulation time of 1 minute to 3 minutes after a local twitch response was obtained.

DEVICE

Localize vibration

the vibration was applied with 110 Hz and 5.57 mm amplitude.
