Study: NCT06012786

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Diagnostic Criteria of Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Description: Major criteria:~1. The patient's complaint of regional pain~2. Referred pain and sensory change in the specific area of the muscle by palpation of the trigger point~3. Presence of palpable taut band~4. Presence of palpable and tender points along the length of the taut band~5. Restriction of ROM in the area of the affected muscle~Minor criteria:~1. Pain/sensory change with pressure palpation of the trigger point~2. Local twitch response with palpation/injection of the trigger point in the taut band~3. Reduction of pain by inactivation (injection or stretching of the muscle) of the trigger point 5 major and at least 1 minor criteria are required for clinical diagnosis

Intervention: The Physical Examination of Trigger Points and Pain-Pressure Threshold Measurement With an Algometer
Description: Trigger points in trapezius, infraspinatus, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, serratus anterior muscles will be detected bilaterally by physical examination. Algometer (Wagner Force Dial FDK 20) will be used for pain pressure threshold measurement of detected trigger points. Then, the distribution of the trigger points, their frequency and threshold values according to the algometer will be compared between the individual affected-insured extremities and between the groups.

Intervention: Hand Grip Test
Description: The purpose of this test is to test the maximum isometric contraction strength of the hand and forearm muscles. A hand grip dynamometer (Jamar) will be used for the test. While the patient is sitting in the chair, the elbows will be close to the body and at 90 degree flexion, the wrist will be in a neutral position. The patient will be asked to grasp the dynamometer and squeeze it as hard as she can, and the average of 3 measurements made with an interval of 5 minutes. The test will be repeated for both upper extremities separately.

Intervention: VAS
Description: Shoulder pain, feeling of tension and heaviness on the affected arm will be evaluated separately by numerical scale.
