Abstract

Aims: To compare the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection vs dry needling (DN) for management of trigger points in the masseter muscle in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) patients.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 30 clinically confirmed cases of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in the masseter muscle who were randomly and equally (1:1) assigned to the test (PRP) and control (DN) groups. Both groups were evaluated for pain (visual analog scale [VAS]), range of functional movements, need for pain medication, patient satisfaction (Likert scale), and sleep (VAS) at baseline and 2-week, 1-month, and 3-month follow-ups. VAS pain and Likert score were also obtained at 6-month intervals.

Results: The use of PRP solution in MTrPs in MPS patients had a better effect on pain and patient satisfaction compared to DN.

Conclusion: PRP appears to be a more effective treatment modality compared to DN in the management of MTrPs in MPS patients.

富血小板血浆和干针治疗肌筋膜疼痛综合征患者咬肌触发点的比较疗效:一项随机对照试验。

目的:比较富血小板血浆(PRP)注射与干针(DN)治疗肌筋膜疼痛综合征(MPS)患者咬肌触发点的疗效。方法:本随机对照试验纳入30例临床确诊的咬肌肌筋膜触发点(MTrPs)病例，随机平均(1:1)分为试验组(PRP)和对照组(DN)。两组分别在基线和2周、1个月和3个月的随访中评估疼痛(视觉模拟量表[VAS])、功能运动范围、止痛药需求、患者满意度(李克特量表)和睡眠(VAS)。每隔6个月获得VAS疼痛和Likert评分。结果:与DN相比，在MPS患者的MTrPs中使用PRP溶液对疼痛和患者满意度有更好的影响。结论:与DN相比，PRP似乎是治疗MPS患者MTrPs的一种更有效的治疗方式。
