The Effects of Ischaemic Compression and Myofascial Release Technique on the Local Tissue Temperature and Functional Parameters of the Patients with Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Randomised Controlled Trial
Journal Title: Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 27
Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of ischaemic compression (IC) and myofascial release (MR) techniques on local tissue temperature, range of motion (ROM) and pain parameters in patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). This single blind, randomised controlled trial study was carried on 60 patients who were diagnosed with MPS and had an active TP on the upper trapezius muscle. Patients were randomly divided into three groups. IC was applied to the first group (IC group), IC and MR were applied to the second group (IC+MR group) and sham IC was applied to the third group (sham group). Local tissue temperature was assessed with digital electronic infrared thermography; pain parameters were evaluated with a pressure pain algometer and visual analogue scale. Neck ROM was measured with an electronic inclinometer. All assessments were recorded before the treatment, just after the treatment and 24 hours after the treatment. In the IC group, the target tissue temperature showed a rapid decrease following the third minute after the application. Then, post-treatment tissue temperature reached the maximum level at the fifth minute. After IC+MR application, target tissue temperature showed a linear increase and reached the maximum level at the fifth minute. There were significant improvements in tissue temperature, pain threshold, pain intensity and ROM after treatment in both the IC group and IC+MR group; however, in the sham group, there were no significant differences in these parameters. IC and MR improve the local temperature of the target tissue. Considering local temperature is related to tissue vascularisation, both IC and MR treatment techniques can be effectively used to treat ischaemia induced-pain generated by trigger points in patients with MPS.
