Objective: To study what effects a high-power, pain-threshold, static ultrasound technique applied to acute myofascial trigger points of the upper trapezius has on pain and on active cervical lateral bending. Design: Double-blind randomized trial. Setting: Physical therapy unit of a private general hospital. Participants: Seventy-two adults with acute pain on I side of the neck, admitted to the outpatient unit during 1999 and 2000. Main Outcome Measures: Visual analog scale and gonio-metric measurement of active lateral bending of the neck performed daily after treatment sessions and length of treatment (number of therapy sessions). Results: High-power ultrasound applied to the trigger points before stretching the muscle was more effective (P<.05) than conventional ultrasound, Langue : ANGLAIS |
