About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Diagnostic Effect of Muscle Tissue Oxygenation Values in Patients With Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Myofascial pain syndrome is a regional pain syndrome accompanied by sensorial, motor and autonomic symptoms . myofascial trigger points are most frequently detected in the upper trapezius, levator scapula, and axial postural muscles such as rhomboid major. Myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by active myofascial trigger points in the form of focal hyperirritable nodules palpated in the tight band of the muscle .

Alteration of tissue vascularization could limit or prevent th may cause adhesions, contractures and pain. As a result of decreased blood flow, tissue oxygenation may decrease.

Read the detailed description

In this study, it will be tried to determine the role of muscle tissue oxygenation in the activity and diagnosis of the disease in myofascial pain syndrome.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • regional tissue saturationDevice

    tissue oxygen saturation measured from 4 different regions defined on the trapezius muscle. The NIRS probe will be used in these areas.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. regional tissue saturation

    tissue oxygen saturation measured from 4 different regions defined on the trapezius muscle. The NIRS probe will be used in these areas.

    Measured: 15 minute

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. peripheral oxygen saturation

    A pulse oximeter will be used to measure peripheral oxygen saturation

    Measured: 15 minute

  2. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    for pain. 0: no pain at all, 10: worst pain imaginable

    Measured: 6 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing regional tissue saturation in people with Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Regional Tissue Oxygen Saturation, run by Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Burcu M.D Metin ÖKMEN, Assoc. PhD. (+902242955000, burcumetinokmen@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

regional tissue saturation (time frame: 15 minute). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Aug 2021.
