In addition, state anxiety scores in early period were also significant in this group.Conclusion: This study demonstrated that cervical and scapular mobilization practices have positive effects on pain scores of head, state anxiety levels and neck disability scores (due to improvements in local tenderness, pain scores and endurance of cervical muscles) when added to standard treatment of patients with MPS

Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of the mobilization applications on neck pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).Patients and methods: Between November 2014 and May 2015, a total of 60 patients diagnosed with MPS at our clinic were included in this study and randomly divided into two groups. Ten sessions of hot pack, therapeutic ultrasound and TENS were performed for group 1 while five additional sessions of (on alternate days) manual therapy (scapular mobilization and Cyriax mobilization) were performed for group 2. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate head and neck pain. Results and mean values of local tenderness scores were recorded by using an algometer for six points at each side of the cervical region and trapezius muscles. Furthermore, neck disability scores, endurance of deep cervical flexor muscles and state and trait anxiety scores were recorded. All assessments were performed four times in total: at the beginning of the treatment, at the end of the treatment, in the second week and in the third month after the treatment.Results: In group 1, decreases in almost none of the VAS scores of head and neck pain were significant in the post-treatment period. Local tenderness scores of neck were significant in the second week and the third month after the treatment. Endurance measurement values were significant in the second week after the treatment. Decrease in the neck disability index scores was found significant at all three measurements of the post-treatment period. In group 2, decreases in head and neck pain scores and neck disability scores were all found significant in the evaluations of the post-treatment period. Similarly, we found significant improvements in almost all of the local tenderness scores of neck and trapezius muscles and endurance measurement values (except for trapezius tenderness measurement in the second week and endurance measurement in the third month). In addition, state anxiety scores in early period were also significant in this group.Conclusion: This study demonstrated that cervical and scapular mobilization practices have positive effects on pain scores of head, state anxiety levels and neck disability scores (due to improvements in local tenderness, pain scores and endurance of cervical muscles) when added to standard treatment of patients with MPS

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada miyofasiyal ağrı sendromuna (MAS) bağlı boyun ağrılı hastaların tedavisinde mobilizasyon uygulamalarının etkinliği araştırıldı.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Kasım 2014 - Mayıs 2015 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde MAS tanısı konulan 60 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi ve randomize olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Grup 1'deki hastalara 10 seans hot pack, terapötik ultrason ve TENS uygulanırken, grup 2'deki hastalara ek olarak beş seans (günaşırı) manuel tedavi (skapular mobilizasyon ve Cyriax mobilizasyon yöntemleri) uygulandı. Baş ve boyun ağrı değerlendirmesi için görsel analog ölçeği (GAÖ) kullanıldı. Algometre ile servikal bölgede ve trapez kasında her bir taraf için altışar noktanın lokal hassasiyet ölçümü sonuçları ve ortalamaları kaydedildi. Ayrıca boyun özür değerlendirme skorları, servikal derin fleksör kasların endurans ölçüm sonuçları ve durumluk ve sürekli kaygı skorları kaydedildi. Tüm değerlendirmeler tedavi başlangıcında, tedavi bitiminde, tedavi sonrası ikinci hafta ve üçüncü ayda olmak üzere toplam dört kez tekrarlandı.Bulgular: Grup 1'de, tedavi sonrası dönemde, baş ve boyun ağrı GAÖ skorlarındaki düşüşlerin hemen hiçbiri anlamlı değildi. Boyun lokal kas hassasiyet skorları tedavi sonrası ikinci hafta ve üçüncü ayda anlamlıydı. Endurans ölçüm değerleri tedavi sonrası ikinci haftada anlamlıydı. Boyun disabilite indeks skorundaki düşüş tedavi sonrası dönemde yapılan üç değerlendirmede de anlamlı bulundu. Grup 2'de ise baş ve boyun ağrıları ve boyun disabilite skorlarındaki düşüşler tedavi sonrası tüm değerlendirmelerde anlamlı bulundu. Benzer şekilde, boyun ve trapez kasların lokal hassasiyet skorları ve endurans ölçümlerinin hemen tamamında (ikinci hafta trapez hassasiyet ölçümü ve üçüncü ay endurans ölçümü hariç) anlamlı düzelmeler saptandı. Ek olarak, bu grupta durumluk kaygı skoru da erken dönemde anlamlı idi.Sonuç: Bu çalışma, MAS'nin standart tedavisine eklenen servikal ve skapular mobilizasyon uygulamalarının, baş ağrıları, durumluk kaygı düzeyleri ve (servikal kasların lokal hassasiyet, ağrı ve endurans skorlarında iyileşmeler nedeniyle) boyun disabilite skorları üzerine olumlu etkileri olduğunu göstermiştir
