Objective: To see the effectiveness of kinesiological tape in myofascial pain syndrome of gastrocnemius muscle for the early recovery after injury and thus increase functional outcome. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: National cricket academy Lahore and Sports and Spine Professional’s Clinic, Defense Phase-IV Lahore Pakistan, from Aug 2017 to Oct 2017. Methodology: Consecutive sampling technique was used to enrol the patients of myofascial pain syndrome based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were selected and the kinesiological tape was applied thrice a week for two consecutive weeks. the patient was then re-evaluated after every two days of previous kinesiological tape application in terms of the visual Analogue Scale. Results: It was observed that kinesiological tape had a significant effect on pain reduction of the myofascial pain syndrome of the gastrocnemius muscle (p<0.001). There was a significant reduction of pain level after application of Kinesio tape till 4th application with pre-treatment means 6.70 ± 1.45 that was reduced to 2.98 ± 2.24 in post-treatment (p<0.05). In addition, there was no significant reduction of pain between the 5th and 6th application with mean for the 6th session as 2.96 ± 2.27 (p>0.05). Conclusion: The Kinesiological tape has a significant effect on pain reduction of gastrocnemius muscle suffering from myofascial pain syndrome. The application of kinesiological tape has maximum effect up to its 4th application. After 5th session of taping, the effect was almost constant. Keywords: ,  , , .

Abstract Objectives: myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is associated with reductions in range of movement (ROM), decrease in physical function and performance and increase in pain in different populations. Elucidating the best prevention and treatment strategies for MPS has been one of the main goals in the last decade. The objective of the present study was to compare the acute effects of self-myofascial foam rolling (SFR) and dry-needling (DN) techniques on ankle dorsiflexion ROM, soreness post-needling and performance through countermovement jump (CMJ) height. Methods: a prospective crossover design composed by 12 active adults, aged 23.41 ± 1.68 years (weight: 78.33 ± 9.02 Kg; height: 1.79 ± 0.088 m) with active ankle dorsiflexion restriction was performed. Participants were randomized into the SFR and DN techniques to analyze its effects on ankle dorsiflexion ROM, muscle soreness and jump height at pre, post and 24 h post-intervention. Results: significant improvements were found by DN on ankle dorsiflexion at 24 hours post intervention and muscle soreness by SFR at the same time point. No significant differences were found between conditions. Conclusions: Both SFR and DN are effective in improving ankle dorsiflexion and performance in young adults without producing an acute effect in muscle soreness.

Summary The objective of this study was to test the clinical effectiveness of the gallium-aluminum-arsenide laser (GaAlAs; 785 nm) and superluminiscent diodes (633 nm) phototherapy (MedX 1100 device) for the treatment of patients with temporomandibular disorders and myofascial pain syndrome. The results demonstrated a positive effect in pain relief. A significant reduction (p < 0.05) in the level of pain was observed for the temporomandibular joint and for the masseter muscles using paired samples t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. The experimental study on pork muscle samples showed that a) the main part of laser radiation is absorbed by the tissue in thin layer of 3-4 mm, b) in the spectral region 650-950 nm the intensity of light penetration is about 0.2-0.25 percent of the initial light intensity.

This review elaborates on the aetiology, diagnosis, and treatment of temporomandibular (TMD) myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) regulated by psychosocial factors. MPS impairs functioning in society due to the accompanying pain. Directed and self-directed biopsychosocial profile modulation may be beneficial in the treatment of MPS. Moreover, nutrition is also a considerable part of musculoskeletal system health. A fruit and vegetable diet contributes to a reduction in chronic pain intensity because of its anti-inflammatory influence. Cannabidiol (CBD) oils may also be used in the treatment as they reduce stress and anxiety. A promising alternative treatment may be craniosacral therapy which uses gentle fascia palpation techniques to decrease sympathetic arousal by regulating body rhythms and release fascial restrictions between the cranium and sacrum. MPS is affected by the combined action of the limbic, autonomic, endocrine, somatic, nociceptive, and immune systems. Therefore, the treatment of MPS should be deliberated holistically as it is a complex disorder.
