Official title
Multimodal Imaging Biomarkers for Investigating Fascia, Muscle and Vasculature in Myofascial Pain
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is highly prevalent in the community. It is primarily diagnosed using patient self reports and physical examination, which lack reliability, sensitivity and specificity and does not provide insights into the abnormal biological and physiological processes in soft tissues. While a number of treatment methods are available to patients, there are currently no criteria to determine which treatments might be best for each patient's unique myofascial pain phenotype. To improve evidence-based management of myofascial pain, there is a critical need to develop quantitative measures that advance the understanding of the physiological processes in the underlying the soft tissues across the clinical continuum of MPS. The objective of this project is to develop a quantitative biomarker informed by the current understanding of underlying tissue-level mechanisms at the level of the "myofascial unit" (muscle, nerve, fascia, vasculature, lymphatics) that are likely to be involved in MPS.
