Multi-modal Imaging for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Q: Is there an age restriction that would preclude adults from being eligible for this research?

Aged 18-60 is the age range that complies with this study's eligibility requirements. There are also 3 trials for under 18s and a separate trial specifically designed to accommodate participants over 65 years old.

Q: Is there still availability for people to join this research endeavor?

Data hosted on clinicaltrials.gov reveals that, while this specific medical study has suspended recruitment since it was last updated in September 6th 2023, there are 91 other trials actively seeking participants at present.

Q: Are there any restrictions on who can participate in this clinical investigation?

To be eligible, potential participants must have myofascial <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/pain">pain</a> syndrome and lie between 18 to 60 years of age. The trial is hoping to enroll approximately 40 candidates in total.

Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial

Must have

Absence of a history of chronic pain in the targeted anatomical location (i.e., neck and shoulder) that had limited activities of daily living or work

Be older than 18 years old

Timeline

Screening 3 weeks

Treatment Varies

Follow Up for each individual, multi-modal imaging will be performed on the same day. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) will take about 1 hour. fiber-optic measurements will take a few minutes. surface electromyography (semg) recording will take <20 minutes.

Study Summary

This trial aims to create new tests to measure muscle pain and help diagnose its causes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy volunteers who currently have mild or no chronic pain in their neck and shoulder, can perform daily activities without limitation due to pain, and understand the study's purpose. They must be able to give informed consent.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to develop new ways of imaging muscles and fascia (the connective tissue around muscles) to better understand myofascial pain. It involves advanced imaging techniques that look at the muscle-fascia unit in different ways.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on imaging rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from staying still during scans or potential reactions to any contrast materials used.
