Recruiting studies
- NCT07347028Recruiting
Trigger point injections for knee osteoarthritis pain
This trial tests whether injecting medication into muscle knots (trigger points) can reduce knee pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if other treatments haven't helped enough.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 45 years+ - NCT06814808Enrolling by invitation
Comparing three treatments for chronic neck pain
This study compares three different treatments for chronic neck pain caused by trigger points (tender knots in muscles). It aims to find which approach works best for pain relief and improved function.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–65 - NCT06899685Recruiting
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.
Banī SuwayfAges 19–23 - NCT06754982Recruiting
Timing of pain, stiffness, and function in plantar fasciitis after muscle release
This trial tests whether a hands-on therapy called myofascial release can help with morning pain, stiffness, and walking in people with plantar fasciitis. It aims to see how these symptoms change over time after treatment.
Talca, Maule RegionAges 18–60 - NCT07672093Recruiting
Dry needling for forearm muscle knots
This study tests whether inserting a thin needle (dry needling) into a tight muscle knot in your forearm can help release it without causing pain. It's for healthy adults who have a non-painful knot in their dominant arm.
Reus, TarragonaAges 18–40 - NCT05447338Recruiting
Manual therapy for neck pain with limited neck motion
