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: ,  , , .

Aim To compare the efficacy of acupuncture needling and 0.5% lidocaine injection of trigger points in myofascial pain syndrome of elderly patients. Methods Thirty nine participants with myofascial pain syndrome of one or both upper trapezius muscles were randomised to treatment with either acupuncture needling (n=18) or 0.5% lidocaine injection (n=21) at all the trigger points on days 0, 7 and 14, in a single-blinded study. Pain scores, range of neck movement, pressure pain intensity and depression were measured up to four weeks from the first treatment. Results Local twitch responses were elicited at least once in 94.9% of all subjects. Both groups improved, but there was no significant difference in reduction of pain in the two groups at any time point up to one month. Overall, the range of cervical movement improved in both groups, apart from extension in the acupuncture needling group. Changes in depression showed only trends. Conclusion There was no significant difference between acupuncture needling and 0.5% lidocaine injection of trigger points for treating myofascial pain syndrome in elderly patients.

A trigger point injection (TPI) with local anesthetic in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) often has the immediate effect of a decrease in pain. It is unknown whether the immediate effect of a decrease in pain affects the subsequent course of pain. It is also unknown whether expectations of a decrease in pain mediate such effects. We aimed to clarify how the effect of a decrease in pain immediately after TPI with local anesthetic affected the subsequent course of pain, and whether it increased expectations of a decrease in pain. This was a prospective, single-center, observational clinical trial. Patients with incurable cancer who visited the palliative care department and received TPI with local anesthetic for MPS were prospectively examined. We evaluated whether the immediate effect of a TPI with local anesthetic affects the subsequent course of pain in MPS by setting expectations as a mediator, using path analysis. From 2018 to 2020, 205 patients with incurable cancer received TPI for MPS. Of these, 58.1% of patients reported an immediate effect of decreased pain. Compared with the non-immediate effect group, the immediate effect group had higher expectations of a decrease in pain, and the higher expectation was maintained at 7 days (p &lt; 0.001). The percentage of patients with pain reduction at 7 days after TPI was 88.2% in the immediate effect group and 39.5% in the non-immediate effect group (p &lt; 0.001). The immediate effect of decreased pain had the greatest influence on pain reduction at 7 days, both directly (β = 0.194) and indirectly through increased expectations (β = 0.293), as revealed by path analysis. The effect of a decrease in pain immediately after TPI with local anesthetic affected the subsequent course of MPS pain in patients with incurable cancer by setting expectations as a mediator. There were limitations to the discussion of these findings because this was an observational study.

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.
