Ultrasonographic Muscles and Fascia Measurement With Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Pathologies in the trapezius muscle and rhomboid muscle are important in the course and treatment of the disease in patients with myofascial pain syndrome.

Detailed Description
-----------------
In this study, the role of the thickness of these muscles and the shift during movement in the activity and diagnosis of the disease in myofascial pain syndrome will be investigated.
