An interventional study of Magnesium Sulphate Iontophoresis +conventional therapy and High- Power Pain Threshold Ultrasound +conventional therapy in Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial, sponsored by Cairo University. Status unknown at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 19 Years to 23 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-09-27.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
to investigate the effects of Magnesium Sulphate Iontophoresis versus High Power Pain Threshold Ultrasound on pain, function and range of motion on active MTrPs found in the upper trapezius.
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a musculoskeletal chronic pain disorder that affects the majority of pain population and characterized by the presence of trigger points. MPS is usually associated with tenderness, spasm, movement limitation and referred pain .
Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are hyperirritable taut fibers of skeletal muscle. The taut fibers within the muscle create palpable nodules that may cause local pain, and refer pain elsewhere with soft tissue examination .
