Chronotype and Myofascial Pain Syndrome Study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how your sleep-wake pattern (chronotype) relates to myofascial pain syndrome, a common cause of neck and back pain. You may join if you have had neck or back pain for at least 3 months and have been diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome.

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 trial tests whether low-energy ultrasound and electrical/magnetic stimulation can reduce long-lasting myofascial pain in the low back, neck, or tension-type headaches. It may help if your pain has lasted at least 3 months and is still noticeable despite your current treatment plan.
This study tests a hands-on therapy called myofascial release to see if it can quickly ease neck pain and related symptoms from 'text neck' (pain from using devices too much). If you are a young adult who spends a lot of time on your phone and has neck pain, you might be a good fit.
This study explores how migraine headaches, neck pain, and lower back pain may share similar pain mechanisms in the body. Researchers will ask you questions to understand your pain patterns and help identify connections between these conditions.
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.
