Sleep patterns and muscle pain study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.

This trial compares three different treatments to find which works best for long-term back pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome, a condition where tight muscle knots cause pain. It is for people who have not found relief with standard treatments.
This study compares different physical therapy techniques to improve neck posture and reduce pain in people with myofascial pain syndrome. It may help if you have mild to moderate neck pain from muscle knots and are open to physiotherapy.
This study uses special MRI scans to look at muscles and nerves in people with long-term neck or shoulder pain caused by trigger points (tender spots in muscles). The goal is to understand what happens in the body with this type of pain—so doctors can find better ways to treat it.
This study compares two hands-on treatments—active release and myofascial release—to see which is better for neck muscle pain and improving sleep. If you've had neck pain for a month and have trigger points, this may help you decide on a treatment.
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence tool can help doctors choose better treatments for muscle pain that has lasted 3 to 6 months. It aims to reduce pain and improve daily function.
