Özet

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of conventional ultrasound (US) therapy in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome. Patients and methods: Fifty-four patients (23 males, 31 females; mean age 29.8±5.2 years; range, 22 to 46 years) with myofascial pain syndrome were included in this prospective, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients were randomized into two groups by computerized method as US group (n=27) and placebo group (n=27). Ten sessions of US were applied to the US group and 10 sessions of placebo US were applied to the placebo group. Treatment effectiveness was evaluated with Visual Analog Scale (VAS), algometer, palpable muscle spasm degree (PMSD), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) before and after treatment. Results: Pain values after treatment in both groups decreased significantly (p 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings show that conventional US therapy is effective in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome.
