COMPARISON OF THREE TREATMENT MODALITIES IN MYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROME
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Dry Needling: Dry needling applied to myofascial trigger points
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy applied to the painful area
Pulsed radiofrequency(PRF): Pulsed radiofrequency applied to the target area for the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome
Study summary
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of dry needling, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The primary outcomes include pain intensity and functional status. Patients will be randomly assigned to different treatment groups, and outcomes will be evaluated before and after the interventions. The results of this study are expected to contribute to determining the most effective treatment method for pain management.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Pain Intensity — Baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment
