Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Plai oil for treating myofascial pain syndrome.Material and Methods: One hundred and fourteen volunteers with muscle pain from myofascial pain syndrome participated in the study and had Plai oil, placebo oil and diclofenac gel applied to their shoulder and neck for 6 days. Clinical evaluation was determined using visual analogue scales, pressure threshold and cervical range of motion of neck flexion and neck extension measurements.Results: The results showed that the visual analogue scales of the 3 groups were significantly different from the baseline. The pressure threshold also increased significantly from the baseline (3.87±1.36) in the volunteers who applied Plai oil (4.42±1.34) and those who applied diclofenac gel (4.35±1.06). However, the results of treatment and placebo groups at the last follow-up were not significantly different. Interestingly, it was observed that Plai oil and placebo oil significantly increased the angle of neck flexion and extension within 3 days of application. Muscle pain treatment with Plai oil resulted in a good outcome that was no different to the outcome of applying the diclofenac gel and placebo.Conclusion: It was demonstrated that Plai oil is as effective for relieving myofascial pain as 1.0% diclofenac gel.The interpreted results of muscle pain are not fully clarified due to placebo effect and other influencing parameters. However, Plai oil also decreased muscle tension and improved the restricted range of motion. We can recommend that Plai oil can be used as an alternative topical application for muscle pain treatment.

Muscle pain can be elicited by any irritation of the nociceptors in the muscle or central sensitization in the central nervous system and represent a challenge for medical as well as for neurological rehabilitation. The most frequently described muscle pain syndromes are myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). The use of infrared thermography in rehabilitation medicine for assessment of musculoskeletal disorders is not well documented in the current literature. This study is focused around MPS due to the more localized manifestations of this syndrome and it’s objective is to asses a correlation between the clinical findings, ultrasound examination and the thermal pattern of trigger points.

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.

Background: Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic syndrome that occurred in a local or focal part of the body. The basis for myofascial pain syndrome is the presence of myofascial trigger point or points, producing pain in clinical examinations. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effect of injection of bicarbonate, hyaluronidase, and lidocaine on myofascial pain syndrome. Methods: The patients were randomly allocated to three groups of bicarbonate, hyaluronidase, and lidocaine. The injection was done at two painful regions of trapezius muscle with a sonography guide for each patient. The values of visual analogue scale (VAS), pre-injection range of motion (ROM), immediately after injection, second and fourth week were measured. Results: The analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the three groups for age, gender, BMI, and height (P > 0.05). Repeated measures one-way ANOVA (week * group) 4 * 3 was used to compare the effect of bicarbonate, hyaluronidase, and lidocaine on VAS and range of motion (ROM) before injection, immediately after injection, second and fourth week. The results showed that the main effect of group and week is significant for VAS (P < 0.05). This study showed that the values of VAS were significantly different between the three groups during the fourth weeks of the study. Moreover, the patients experienced more pain decline in the hyaluronidase group during weeks before injection, after injection, second and fourth week, which indicated the permanent effect of this medication on pain decline. Conclusions: Injection of lidocaine leads to a significant reduction in pain immediately after injection; however, the decline was not permanent and disappeared in the following four weeks. But VAS reduction in hyaluronidase group more than bicarbonate and lidocaine groups.

Chronic Muscle Pain

Chronic muscle pain (myalgia) is a common problem throughout the world. Seemingly simple, it is actually a difficult problem for the clinician interested in determining the aetiology of the pain, as well as in managing the pain. The two common muscle pain conditions are fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome. Fibromyalgia is a chronic, widespread muscle tenderness syndrome, associated with central sensitisation. It is often accompanied by chronic sleep disturbance and fatigue, visceral pain syndromes like irritable bowel syndrome and interstitial cystitis. Myofascial pain syndrome is an overuse or muscle stress syndrome characterised by the presence of trigger points in muscle. The problem these syndromes pose lies not in making the diagnosis of muscle pain. Rather, it is the need to identify the underlying cause(s) of persistent or chronic muscle pain in order to develop a specific treatment plan. Chronic myalgia may not improve until the underlying precipitating or perpetuating factor(s) are themselves managed. Precipitating or perpetuating causes of chronic myalgia include structural or mechanical causes like scoliosis, localised joint hypomobility, or generalised or local joint laxity; and metabolic factors like depleted tissue iron stores, hypothyroidism or Vitamin D deficiency. Sometimes, correction of an underlying cause of myalgia is all that is needed to resolve the condition.

Myofascial pain syndrome is a common problem that can develop at any age. This study compares the efficacy of the court-type traditional Thai massage (CTTM) to the Thai hermit exercise (THE) in improving the cervical range of motion (CROM) and reducing pain in the upper trapezius muscle. In this study, 46 patient subjects were randomized into 2 groups, with 1 group administered CTTM and the other administered THE. Prior to and following the experiment, their demographic characteristics, pain levels and CROM were measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) and a goniometer, respectively. Data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics. The findings indicate that subjects in both groups demonstrated significantly lower pain and significantly better CROM (P < 0.05). In terms of comparative treatment between the CTTM and THE groups, the results were not found to differ in the range of motion, but a clear difference in pain level measured by VAS was found, in which CTTM provides a better way of reducing pain at the trigger point than THE (P < 0.05). From the findings, it can be concluded that both CTTM and THE are comparably efficacious therapies for myofascial pain in the upper trapezius muscle.
