Abstract Trigger points as a cause of musculoskeletal or myofascial pain syndrome is well documented. Trigger points (Tr Ps) are tender and hypersensitive nodules seen in skeletal muscles which develop as a result of sudden or repetitive trauma to the muscles. They cause contractile state of a muscle with local or radiating pain. Active trigger points cause intense pain with limitation of movements of the muscles. The treatment involves deactivating the trigger points, usually done by various methods. Most common practice is myotherapy which involves deep tissue massage which is painful and time consuming. Dry needling and needling with anaesthetic injaection have been successfully used by many. Recently, ultrasound guidance is used to locate the trigger points and to accurately place the needle in to them to deactivate, thus preventing complications of blind procedures.

Myofascial Trigger Points

Abstract Background Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a complex pain syndrome characterized by myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in skeletal muscles. Ultrasound (US) therapy is one of the main devices used in physical therapy, for the treatment of MTrPs in MPS. Dry needling is skilled technique also used in the treatment of MTrPs in MPS. Purpose This study aimed to compare the effect of dry needling with the effect of ultrasonic waves in the treatment of cervical myofascial pain. Subjects a sample of 30 patients with myofascial trigger points in trapezius muscle was randomly chosen and divided into 2 groups each contains 15 patients. Methods the first group was treated by ultrasonic waves in a pulsed mode (1MHz, 1W/cm², 1:1 ratio) 5 min to each trigger point and the second group was treated with deep dry needling (peppering technique) to each trigger point with a rate of 3 times per week for 3 weeks. Results All patients shows significant improvement (P > 0.001) immediately after treatment period with disappearance of trigger points, increasing in cervical ROM and decreasing in VAS ; but 3 weeks later trigger points reappeared, ROM decreased and VAS increased again. Conclusion both modalities of treatment were considered effective in treating myofascial pain syndrome.
