Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with myofascial pain syndrome at unilateral upper trapezius muscle and had pain score (Visual analog scale) at least 4

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with signs and/or symptoms of neurological deficit
  • Patients with history of cervical hernia, cervical radiculopathy, cervical myelopathy, fibromyalgia, whiplash spondylosis and cervical spinal stenosis.
  • Patients who received physical therapy/injection/surgery at neck or pain area in last 6 months.

Treatment and study plan

Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation

Device

Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation at trigger point of upper trapezius muscle

dry needling

Procedure

Dry needling at trigger point of upper trapezius muscle

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of Visual analog scale

    Time frame: Change from baseline Visual analog scale at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline visual analog scale at 1 week and Change from baseline Visual analog scale at 4 weeks

    Pain measurement Score from 0-10, 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Neck disability index

    Time frame: Change from baseline Neck disability index at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline Neck disability index at 1 week and Change from baseline Neck disability index at 4 weeks

    Disability secondary to neck pain Score from 0-50, 0 means no disability and 50 means complete disability. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

Other outcomes

  1. Pain pressure threshold

    Time frame: Change from baseline Pain pressure threshold at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline Pain pressure threshold at 1 week and Change from baseline Pain pressure threshold at 4 weeks

    The minimum pressure that induces pain in trigger point. Higher scores mean better outcome.
