Brief Summary  

Title: Efficacy of magnesium in treatment of patients with myofascial trigger points in upper trapezius

Introduction: Myofascial Trigger point (MTrP) has been defined as a highly localized and hyperirritable spot in a palpable taut band of skeletal muscle fibres. Treatment of Myofascial trigger points often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Steam- causes vasodilation, this allows more blood, oxygen and nutrients to be delivered to the affected part and accelerated removal of wastes.  Ischemic compressions- causes resurgence of local blood flow upon sudden release of digital pressure, most probably from the spinal reflex mechanism, causes increase in pain pressure threshold. The demand for Mg is likely to increase during accelerated metabolic situations, thus, physically active individuals may have higher Mg requirements in order to maintain optimal exercise performance as compared with their inactive peers.

Aim: Comparison of effects of magnesium with conventional physiotherapy in patients with myofascial trigger points in upper trapezius.

Objectives:

To assess the effect of conventional therapy in myofascial trigger points in upper trapezius with respect to pain through VAS, range of motion using goniometer, pressure pain threshold using pain algometer and functional status using Neck Disability Index (NDI).      

Comparison of magnesium and conventional therapy in myofascial trigger points in upper trapezius with respect to pain through VAS, range of motion using goniometer, pressure pain threshold using pressure pain algometer and functional status using Neck Disability Index (NDI).

 

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects with active myofascial trigger points in upper trapezius. Both male and female. Age group: 18-40 years

Exclusion Criteria: (1) clinical evidence of cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy; (2) history of disc disease, degenerative joint disease, fracture, or dislocation of the cervical vertebrae; (3) cognitive deficits or psychiatric illness; (4) history of known hypersensitivity to magnesium were also excluded.

Outcome measures:

VAS (Visual Analogue Scale).

ROM (Range of Motion).

Neck Disability Index (NDI).

Pressure pain threshold.
