Brief Summary:
This study is a randomized controlled study. A total of 75 patients between the ages of 20-50 who have a diagnosis of acute myofacial pain syndrome in the trapezius muscle and have pain for a maximum of 5 days were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups. Group 1 patients received kinesio tape method (25 patients), group 2 patients received trigger point injection method (25 patients), and group 3 patients received neural therapy injection method (25 patients). A 10-15 cm sized I band was applied to the trapezius muscles of the first group patients with the patient's neck in lateral flexion. Then, while the patient's neck is flexed, a Y-shaped 15-20 cm tape will be affixed between C1-7 with the arms of the Y up, and I tape of 5-10 cm is attached on the arms. In group 2 patients, 1 cc lidocaine diluted with 4 cc saline (SF) was applied to the trigger points palpated manually in the trapezius muscles. After the trigger point was squeezed between the thumb and index finger, a few cc of local anesthetic mixture was applied into the trigger point with the injector and exited. In the 3rd group patients, a few cc local anesthetic mixture will be applied intradermally over the trigger point without entering into the trigger points palpated manually in the trapezius muscles. Patients were checked 72 hours and 1 week after the first applications.
The pain at rest and during movement of the patients in all 3 groups were evaluated with a visual analog scale (VAS 10 cm). The number of trigger points was determined by the physician by hand palpation. Pressure pain threshold was evaluated with the algometer device. Disability assessment of the patients was made using the neck pain disability index. evaluations were made at the beginning of treatment, 72 hours after and 1 week after treatment.
