Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective randomized single-blind study included 60 patients aged 18-65 years who have MPS with ATP in the upper trapezius muscle. Patients were randomized into two treatment groups as dry needling (DN) and cold spray-stretching. Both treatment groups received 1 treatment per week and totally 3 sessions. Evaluation parameters were pain level assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) and algometer, neck range of motion angles, functional level assessed by neck disability index (NDI). The effects of the treatments on aTP were evaluated by sEMG and US histogram. All parameters were evaluated at the beginning of the treatment and after 3 sessions of treatment. Algometer and sEMG were performed also before and after the 1st and 3rd sessions.

Dry needling
It was performed using a deep dry needling technique using 0.25x25 mm disposable sterile steel acupuncture needles (HuaLong, China) while patient was in prone position. The needle inserted in the trigger point and stimulation was performed by manipulating it up and down several times. The needle was kept in the trigger point for 1-3 minutes and removed after the muscle spasm regressed . One session per week, a total of 3 sessions were applied.

Cold spray and stretching
The patient was placed on the chair with the head and body upright in the most comfortable position possible and voluntary relaxation was achieved. One end of the muscle was fixed in order to apply passive stretching. The cooler spray (in its content; 0.06% menthol, 2.06% isopropyl alcohol, 2% isopropyl alcohol) was sprayed to the surface at an angle of 30° from a distance of approximately 30-50 cm, while passive stretching was applied. One session per week, a total of 3 sessions were applied
cold spray and stretching
The cooler spray (in its content; 0.06% menthol, 2.06% isopropyl alcohol, 2% isopropyl alcohol) was sprayed to the surface at an angle of 30° from a distance of approximately 30-50 cm, while passive stretching was applied.
