An Early Phase 1 interventional study of Transverse friction massage (TFM) and Transverse friction massage (TFM) in Myofascial Trigger Points and Myofascial Pain, sponsored by University of Castilla-La Mancha. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to male participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2011-04-07.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Transverse Friction Massage (TFM) in Latent Myofascial Trigger points (MTrP) is more effective making this technique in two different ways.
The investigators divide in two groups. The investigators apply the TFM in similar way in both, but the investigators cause local twitch response (isolated contraction of muscle fibers containing the latent trigger points)just in one group. So the investigators want to know whether the effectiveness of this technique is due to those local twitch responses, comparing both groups. The investigators asses Strength, range of motion, and overall, pressure pain thresholds to evaluate the pain sensitivity progress.
University of Castilla-La Mancha is the lead sponsor of 104 studies on the registry; 24 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
The investigators do TFM causing isolated contractions in de muscle fibers containing de latent trigger point.
Procedure: Transverse friction massage (TFM)
The investigators don´t cause contraction during the TFM
Procedure: Transverse friction massage (TFM)
The TFM was describe of Cyriax as an effective method to treat soft tissues. It is a massage done always in perpendicular direction of damage tissue. During the massage, we can caused isolated contractions from the fiber muscles containing the latent trigger points.
Also known as: Cyriax massage

Change from Baseline in Pressure pain Threshold (PPT)during treatment.
The PPT is defined as the minimal amount of pressure where a sense of pressure first changes to discomfort or pain in a certain point
Time frame: Pre and post treatment every session and 1 week after last session
