Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how different massage treatments influence pressure-pain thresholds (PPT) in myofascial trigger points associated with tension-type headaches in 62 participants.
- Results indicated that massage led to significant increases in PPT across tested muscle sites, unlike the sham ultrasound or wait-list control groups.
- The research concluded that both single and multiple massage sessions effectively enhanced PPT at trigger points, with cumulative benefits observed even after several treatments.
Objective: Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are focal disruptions in the skeletal muscle that can refer pain to the head and reproduce the pain patterns of tension-type HA (TTH). The present study applied massage focused on MTrPs of patients with TTH in a placebo-controlled, clinical trial to assess efficacy on reducing headache (HA) pain.
Methods: Fifty-six patients with TTH were randomized to receive 12 massage or placebo (detuned ultrasound) sessions over 6 weeks, or to wait-list.
Objective. This article aims to present a case of the use of an alternative form of neuromodulation for the treatment of axial back pain associated with postlaminectomy syndrome. Materials and Methods.
