IRCT20221008056115N1 IRCT 2022-10-26 Semnan University of Medical Sciences The Effectiveness of Dry needling and Electroacupuncture on Myofascial pain syndrome Comparison of Effectiveness of Dry needling and Electroacupuncture of upper trapezius muscle on pain, Ultrasonography changes and Functional disability of Upper limb in patients with Myofascial pain syndrome 2022-11-22 anticipated 42 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/66282 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The samples are assigned (to two groups) randomly and using the method of random permutation blocks with 6 blocks of 6, assigned to the two groups. In this method, A will represent the first intervention group and B will represent the second intervention group. In this way, the order of A and B interventions in the form of blocks from 1 to 6 is determined by the methodological consultant of the project, and is provided to the executive supervisor of the project, and the researcher obtains an assignment from the executive supervisor to assign each qualified person. The supervisor first selects the block using a random number generator (or dice roll) and then the eligible individuals are assigned to one of the two groups A or B. And the sequence of each item will be crossed out. It should be noted that if a block is selected based on random numbers that have already filled all 6 sequences, another random number will be selected again for that person, Blinding description: The researcher will be blind to the intervention by employing the research assistant and not being in the intervention room. The outcome assessor will be different from the researcher and will only receive the study data with a code from the researcher and is not aware of the interlopers. In each group, they are not aware of the intervention of the other group. N/A Myofacial pain syndrome. Intervention 1: First Intervention group: Dry needling of upper trapezius muscle will be performed 2 sessions per week for 2 consecutive weeks. To perform the intervention, the patient is placed in pron position, and the therapist is placed above the patient's head and cleans the skin with alcohol. The needles are inserted into the muscle at the midpoint of the line extending from the seventh cervical vertebra to the acromion process, on the trigger points, and will remain in the muscle for 15 minutes. Intervention 2: Second Intervention group: Electroacupuncture of upper trapezius muscle will be performed 2 sessions per week for 2 consecutive weeks. To perform the intervention, the patient is placed in pron position, and the therapist is placed above the patient's head and cleans the skin with alcohol. The needles are inserted into the muscle at the middle point of the line that extends from the seventh cervical vertebra to the acarion process, on the trigger points, and electroacupuncture with a frequency of 100 Hz is continuously applied for 15 minutes.
