Abstract Background: Expectations for treatment have a favorable effect on the subsequent course of pain and behavior in patients. It is not known whether receiving interfascial injection while patients view their ultrasound image with doctors (visual feedback) is associated with positive treatment expectations. Methods: This was a prospective, multicenter, observational clinical trial. We evaluated whether visual feedback during ultrasound-guided interfascial injection affects treatment expectations and the subsequent course of pain in patients with myofascial pain syndrome. Treatment expectations were set as mediators of pain using path analysis. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who showed improvement in pain numerical rating scale score by 50% or more 14 days after initiation of treatment. Results: During 2019 and 2020, 136 outpatients received ultrasound-guided interfascial injection for myofascial pain syndrome. Of these, 65 (47.8%) patients received visual feedback during ultrasound-guided interfascial injection. Compared with the non-visual feedback group, the visual feedback group had higher expectations for treatment, immediately after interfascial injection, and their expectations were maintained at day 14 of treatment (p < .001). In the visual feedback group, 67.7% of patients showed improvement in pain numerical rating scale score by 50% or more at day 14 (95% confidence interval: 56.5–78.9), whereas such improvement was observed in only 36.6% of the non-visual feedback group (95% confidence interval: 25.3–47.9; p < .001). Path analysis revealed that visual feedback had the largest influence on pain numerical rating scale reduction at 14 days, which was indirectly via higher expectations for treatment (β = 0.434).Conclusions: Visual feedback during ultrasound-guided interfascial injection had a positive effect on the subsequent course of pain in patients with myofascial pain syndrome by increasing patients’ treatment expectations.Trial registration: UMIN000043160.

Background Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is an important clinical condition that is characterized by chronic muscle pain and a myofascial trigger point (MTrP) located in a taut band (TB). Previous studies showed that EphrinB1 was involved in the regulation of pathological pain via EphB1 signalling, but whether EphrinB1-EphB1 plays a role in MTrP is not clear. Methods The present study analysed the levels of p-EphB1/p-EphB2/p-EphB3 in biopsies of MTrPs in the trapezius muscle of 11 MPS patients and seven healthy controls using a protein microarray kit. EphrinB1-Fc was injected intramuscularly to detect EphrinB1s/EphB1s signalling in peripheral sensitization. We applied a blunt strike to the left gastrocnemius muscles (GM) and eccentric exercise for 8 weeks with 4 weeks of recovery to analyse the function of EphrinB1/EphB1 in the muscle pain model. Results P-EphB1, p-EphB2, and p-EphB3 expression was highly increased in human muscles with MTrPs compared to healthy muscle. EphB1 (r = 0.723, n = 11, P < 0.05), EphB2 (r = 0.610, n = 11, P < 0.05), and EphB3 levels (r = 0.670, n = 11, P < 0.05) in the MPS group were significantly correlated with the numerical rating scale (NRS) in the MTrPs. Intramuscular injection of EphrinB1-Fc produces hyperalgesia, which can be partially prevented by pre-treatment with EphB1-Fc. The p-EphB1 contents in MTrPs of MPS animals were significantly higher than that among control animals (P < 0.01). Intramuscular administration of the EphB1 inhibitor EphB1-Fr significantly suppressed mechanical hyperalgesia. Conclusions The present study showed that the increased expression of p-EphB1/p-EphB2/p-EphB3 was related to MTrPs in patients with MPS. This report is the first study to examine the function of EphrinB1-EphB1 signalling in primary muscle afferent neurons in MPS patients and a rat animal model. This pathway may be one of the most important and promising targets for MPS.

ABSTRACT Background: Myofascial pain syndrome is the situation of taut pain and tenderness pain, this syndrome is often found in trapezius muscle. The result of Preliminary study shows that the tahfidz program students in Ar – Rohmah Islamic Boarding School Malang spent time to learn Al – Qur’an for 6-8hour/day with static situation and complained about the pain in the neck. Purpose: To find out the effect of Post Isometric Relaxation on decrease pain of myofascial pain syndrome of the upper trapezius in Ar – Rohmah Islamic Boarding School Malang. Method: This study uses Pre-experimental one group pretest and posttest design. The respondents in this study are 26 students of thafidz program in Ar – Rohmah Islamic Boarding School Malang with technique of purposive sampling and were given intervention 3 times in a week for 2 weeks. Instrument of this research is Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and the data analysis is using Wilcoxon test. Result: It shows 0,000 (α < 0,05) and show there is decrease pain from 0,742 to 0,633. Conclusion: There is an effect of post isometric relaxation on decrease the pain of myofascial pain syndrome of upper the trapezius in Ar – Rohmah Islamic Boarding School Malang.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of radial shock waves in myofascial upper trapezius syndrome following the global treatment scheme of key trigger points. Materials and methods 26 patients treated with rESWT (Radial shock wave therapy) after a global postural and myofascial assessment of the patient and the identification of the key trigger points. At the end of the treatment each subject was re-evaluated through the Numerical Rating Scale - NRS and through the examination with Electronic Baropodometer. In this study, we compared the values of NRS and the values of postural biometrics before and after 2 sessions of rESWT, and a statistically significant difference (P <0.05) in all measurements emerged in the values measured with NRS. In the static percentage load, a statistically significant reduction in the percentage load differences (right / left) (P <0.05) was observed in all three evaluation moments (T0, T1, T2). The percentage and statistically significant improvement (P <0.05) were recorded at time T2 in the surface of the ellipse. Greater control of balance and greater awareness of the base of support was found in the calculation of the sway path, in particular with closed eyes. Based on this experience, the use of radial shock waves in pathologies related to myofascial pain with postural implications would be desirable.

The objective of the research was to compare the objective and subjective indicators of intra- and postoperative pain and surgical stress intensity.          Materials and Methods. There were examined 360 patients suffering from gallstone disease. There were used the intraoperative monitoring of nociception index by means of Analgesia Nociception Index  - monitor, the determination of serum cortisol concentration, the assessment of pain syndrome in the postoperative period by means of the Numerical Rating Scale in accordance with life quality assessment and the number of injections at the patient’s request. Results. The analysis conducted indicated the reduction in pain irritation, low indices of pain syndrome and postoperative stress intensity under the effect of argonperitoneum. Considerable reduction in the need for analgesics in the study groups served as evidence to this predicted pattern. The assumption that the noticed phenomenon can be explained by the absence of acid irritation of the peritoneum due to argon chemical neutrality being distinct from carbon dioxide was substantiated.          Conclusions. The results proved the effectiveness of argonperitoneum application in laparoscopic surgeries.
