  • Protocol summary

    40 patients with trapezius myofascial syndrome referred from physical medicine and rehabilitation office based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. After describing the study, method and the objectives, the patients signed an informed consent and divided in two group randomly by using sealed envelops: 1-massage cupping therapy 2- control group. At first demographic and disease history questionnaire and SF-36 QOL questionnaire will be completed and pain will be measured using visual analog scale (VAS) for all patients then, the first group will be treated by massage cupping for 4 weeks(2 sessions a week), every session lasts 15 minutes. Massage cupping will be done using negative pressure of a suction while it is moving on the terapezus muscle with a relative high pressure. Control group will receive only drug therapy the same as intervention group. All data will be collected after the last session of therapy as well as one and three months later. Data will be analyzed with SPSS using ANOVA and repeated measure test.

For the second group (control group), a routine exercise therapy was performed. The exercises consisted of three strengthening exercises and five stretching exercises for the upper, middle and lower trapezius muscles. Each movement was performed 10 repetitions and 3 times a day.
