Brief Summary:
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a musculoskeletal disorder which is characterized by pain, muscle spasms and muscle tenderness, as well as a limited range of motion, weakness, and rarely, autonomous dysfunction.
Detailed Description:
The occurrences of morbidity of the neck after cancer therapy were considerable and consisted of neck pain, loss of sensation, and decreased range of motion. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is one of the treatment options used for patients with myofascial pain syndrome through elimination of ischemia and modulation of vasoneuroactive substance (two major causes of trigger pathophysiology) and mechanical transduction as a cellular response to external stimulation. the aim of this study was to investigate efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on cervical myofascial pain following neck dissection surgery.
