TI  - COMPARISON THE EFFICACY OF DRY NEEDLING AND ISCHEMIC COMPRESSION METHODS IN 
      MIYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROME: A RANDOMIZED TRIAL.
PG  - 27-32
AB  - Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is the most common in the musculoskeletal disease. 
      Dry needling techniques and ischemic compression are the most common 
      applications. We aimed to compare the efficacy of dry needling and ischemic 
      compression methods on pain, cervical range of motion and disability in 
      myofascial pain syndrome. This is a randomized, controlled study. 98 patients 
      with MPS were randomly assigned into three groups. Group1 received dry needling 
      (n=33), group 2 (n=33) received ischemic compression and group 3 (n=32) received 
      combined with dry needling and ischemic compression inventions. Additionally, all 
      patients were given neck exercise programs including isotonic, isometric, and 
      stretching. The severity of the pain was measured by visual analog scale (VAS). 
      The pressure pain threshold (PPT) and cervical range of motion (ROM) were also 
      recorded. Disability was assessed by the Neck Pain Disability Scale. All 
      assessments were performed before the treatment and one month and three months 
      after the treatment. There were statistically significant improvements in VAS, 
      PPT, cervical ROM, and disability scores after one and three months in all groups 
      compared to pre-treatment results (p<0.05). After three months of follow-up, 
      statistically significant differences were observed in all parameters between the 
      groups (p<0.05) except cervical ROM (p>0.05). Myofascial pain syndrome in 
      patients with ischemic compression and dry needling effective treatment methods 
      are shown separately in our study to be more effective when used together.
