Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Patients with myofascial-related pain diseases
Subjects diagnosed with myofascial-related pain disease will receive the research MRI imaging including MR elastography and MRI structural imaging.
Magnetic Resonance (MR) Elastography
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging technique that creates a visual map (Elastogram) to show the stiffness of body tissues
MRI structural imaging
MRI structural imaging will be done at the same time as MR elastography.
Healthy controls without myofascial-related pain diseases
Subjects without myofascial-related pain disease will receive the research MRI imaging including MR elastography and MRI structural imaging.
Magnetic Resonance (MR) Elastography
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging technique that creates a visual map (Elastogram) to show the stiffness of body tissues
MRI structural imaging
MRI structural imaging will be done at the same time as MR elastography.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* A numerical current pain index of less than 0.5 (on a 10-point Visual Analog Scale)
* Able to understand the goal of the project and give informed consent.
* A history of chronic low back or leg pain (the targeted location will be determined based on the findings in Aim 1) for at least 3 months. (Measured by patient history and physical exam)
* A palpable taut band or nodule within the skeletal muscle
* Hypersensitive tender spot within the taut band
* Recognition of current pain complaint by pressure on the tender nodule/taut band
* Painful limit to the full stretch range of motion
Exclusion Criteria
* Any contraindication to an MRI exam
* Previous severe/acute back or low extremity injury (including fracture)
* Previous back or low extremity surgery
* Back and lower limb deformities
* Inability to provide consent.
* Pregnancy or breastfeeding
* Any contraindication to an MRI exam
* Previous therapy in the area to be treated within 6 months
* Previous severe back or low extremity injury (including fracture) or surgery
* Any neurological conditions or active systemic disease (e.g. diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis) that impaired sensation/pain perception
* Severe osteoarthritis
* Skin injuries in the area to be treated
* Inability to provide consent.
