About this study
Official title: Effects of Myofascial Induction Pressure Pain Threshold in Trigger Points of the Proximal Muscles of Gastrocnemius: A Prepost Study
In the present study we will test the effects of myofascial induction technique in the muscles close to the application in the gastrocnemius muscle.
Read the detailed description
In the present study we will test the effects of myofascial induction technique on nearby muscles. The calf maneuver proposed by Pilat for myofascial induction will be applied and the effects on the pain pressure threshold of the trigger points of the flexor digitorum brevis biceps femoris extensor digitorum longus muscles will be observed.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius muscleOther
A 3-pass shallow leg gliding technique was applied first, followed by 5 minutes of the deep myofascial calf induction technique described by Pilat.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental: Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius | Experimental | A 3-pass shallow leg gliding technique was applied first, followed by 5 minutes of the deep myofascial calf induction technique described by Pilat. Receives: Other: Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius muscle |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
1.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles before intervention
The pressure at which the patient begins to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer. It is measured in newtons.
Measured: Immediately before intervention.
2.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles after intervention
The joint range is measured in dorsiflexion of the ankle joint with the knee extended under load and is measured with an inclinometer in degrees.Measured in grades.
Measured: Immediately after the intervention.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius muscle in people with Myofascial Trigger Point and Gastrocnemius Muscle, run by Mayuben Private Clinic at 1 site in Spain.
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 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
1.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles before intervention (time frame: Immediately before intervention.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Jul 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
