Abstract:

Background: Palpation is an examination technique used to diagnose and treat myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and fibromyalgia (FM). Currently, there is no validated technique for classifying the results. A valid and reliable pressure pain threshold scale (PPTS) may provide a means for clinicians to grade, document, and report findings. The purpose of this dissertation was to validate a PPTS in patients diagnosed with MPS and FM. Design and Methods: An observational study. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were placed into three equal groups: MPS, FM, and control. All participants unde

Abstract:

A síndrome dolorosa miofascial (SDM) é uma disfunção musculoesquelética não articular caracterizada por pontos-gatilho miofasciais. Estes pontos, identificados por meio da palpação, são descritos como bandas tensas na fibra muscular, podendo apresentar dor referida à compressão. Sabe-se que os pontos-gatilho miofasciais provocam hiperatividade simpática regional de temperatura local devido à atividade vasoconstritora cutânea. Para documentação objetiva por imagem desta alteração funcional, a termografia tem sido proposta como método auxiliar diagnóstico. O objetivo deste estudo foi correlacion

Intervenções terapêuticas alternativas precisam ser pesquisadas para alcançar vias do processo de doença não contempladas com a terapêutica clássica. Dentre estas, o uso da melatonina, com efeitos cronobiótico, ansiolítico e analgésico, tem se apresentado como uma opção terapêutica atrativa no tratamento da SDM, que cursa com alterações de sono, dor, sintomas depressivos e de ansiedade.

Apesar da antiga visão mecanicista ao longo do século passado a dor passou a ser avaliada e tratada de forma biopsicossocial, uma vez que diversos aspectos emocionais e sociais podem modular sintomas físicos.

Entende-se por espiritualidade a parte essencial individual que controla a mente e o corpo, aquilo que traz significado e propósito para a vida das pessoas. Seu mecanismo é modulatório e aparenta envolver diversas vias endócrinas e imunológicas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a espiritualidade em mulheres c

Introdução: Embora a completa fisiopatologia da SDM permaneça desconhecida, evidências sugerem que na dor crônica os sistemas inibitórios são deficitários, como demonstrado pelo enfraquecimento da inibição intracortical do córtex motor.

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立高雄第一科技大學<br>電腦與通訊工程所<br>98<br>The purpose of this study is to explore wavelet-based octave energy features for recognition on surface electromyography (SEMG) of patients with myofascial pain syndrome. The method proposed in this paper includes wavelet transform, wavelet denoise scheme, feature selection, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and receiver operating characteristic analysis (ROC). First, we decompose the signal by the wavelet transform. We further denoise the high band coefficients by using wavelet denoise scheme. The energy of each subband coefficients is used as features o

Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Masters Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, 2011.<br>Background: Myofascial pain is a disorder, characterized by the presence of trigger points (MTrP). It is recognised by unique features which include a tender point in a taut band of muscle, a local twitch response (LTR), a characteristic referred pain pattern, and the reproduction of the patient’s usual pain upon examination. A debate exists as to the precise diagnostic criteria used in identifying trigger points. This has hampere

One particular cause of TMDs is said to be myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS), which according to various research papers, if not considered and/or assessed, the general cause of a patient’s pain could be disregarded and incorrect treatment offered.

Though treatments of MPS of masticatory system are various, many patients have little response to the treatment. Shall we treat patients with MPS of the masticatory system according to disease severity? To evaluate the severity of MPS of masticatory system, commonly used parameters (maximum mouth opening and visual analog scale) are not enough. May we evaluate the severity of MPS of masticatory system in mandibular function impairments, pain, life
