Dry needling and gentle laser therapy for recent neck pain
This trial tests two therapies—dry needling (thin needles into muscle knots) and low-level laser/microcurrent (gentle energy) treatment—alone or combined, to relieve acute neck pain from muscle knots (myofascial pain). It aims to reduce pain and improve function for people with recent onset symptoms.

Nerve block plus trigger point shots for neck pain relief
This study tests if adding a nerve block to standard trigger point injections provides better relief for people with chronic neck pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome.

Mouthguard for jaw and neck muscle pain from grinding
This study tests whether a custom mouthguard (occlusal splint) can reduce pain and tension in the jaw and neck muscles. It is for people with bruxism (teeth grinding) and myofascial pain, a type of muscle pain in the jaw area.

Kinesio taping vs. tool-assisted massage for neck pain relief
This study compares two non-invasive treatments for neck pain caused by muscle knots in the upper trapezius (the muscle between your neck and shoulder). The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain, improves neck movement, and helps with daily function.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for myofacial pain syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5 recruiting myofacial pain syndrome studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a myofacial pain syndrome trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a myofacial pain syndrome trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
