Öğe Quantitative evaluation of trigger points in Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Syndromes by using Ultrasonography(Discovery Publication, 2016) Koca, T. T.; Ozdemir, F. C.; Cimen, A.Aim: MFS and FS are the most common muscle pain syndromes. In this study, we compared the diameters of the trigger points in FS patients with the ones in MFS patients by using US. Method: The study included 23 MFS patients and 24 FS patients who had come to Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic Marc 2015 and June 2015 with neck pain complaining. During the clinical examinations, trigger points were detected around the neck area in both patient groups. We asked the patients' pain complaints using a VAS for the last week. P<0.05 value is supposed to be significant difference as statistically. Results: In our study, the mean age of the patients who were diagnosed with FS was 41.87 +/- 14.6 years. The mean age of patients in the MFS group was 47.60 +/- 16.9 years and the VAS mean value was 4.13 +/- 1.9 cm. The mean of the trigger points area value was detected as 10.2 +/- 6.7 mm(2). We found a statistically significant difference between the trigger point area values of FS and MFS patients (p=0.000). A statistically significant difference was also found between VAS result values of FS and MFS patients (p=0.001). Spearman correlation analysis was done between VAS value and trigger point area, VAS value was statistically correlated with trigger point area (p=0,03). Conclusion: In our study, we found that the trigger point area is significantly larger in the FS patients compared to MFS patients, using the US evaluation and the one-week VAS values were significantly higher in FS group.
