Abstract
Primary syndrome of myofascial pain was a persistent pain issue which affects the muscles and adjacent connective tissue (fascia). This condition may result through causes include muscular overuse, inadequate posture, stress, and injury. The aim of the current study is to conduct a general reviewing of all previous related to prick's efficacy in the treatment of primary myofascial pain syndrome by using under ultrasound guide technique. A prospective study of 150 patients suffering from primary myofascial pain syndrome, mostly neck pain (sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles), at the Medical City at Baghdad (Gazzy Alhariery for Surgical Specialists and Bagdad Teaching Hospital) and Samer Alwazni pain medicine clinic at AL-Kut City, from 2019 to 3023, undergo acupuncture needling under ultrasound guide for the destruction of taut bands, with follow of pain for three month interval period, the results was:50% of patient got pain free from 1st session,20% of patients got relieving of pain from 2nd session while 30% had recurrent pain. In the context of under ultrasound guide imaging, all literatures found that prick has been regarded as an effective tool in the management of primary myofascial pain syndrome. Under ultrasound guide helps prick locating trigger points with precision as well as inserting the needles accurately, which is likely to yield better results in terms of pain relief and muscle relaxation. As a result, combining acupuncture and under ultrasound guide are likely to be effective in the treatment of primary myofascial pain syndrome devoid of any invasive practices. Prick needling under ultrasound guide guidance among patients suffering from myofascial pain syndrome shows greater effectiveness both in terms of pain relief and enhancement of quality of life and in overall MPS management.
