NCT ID NCT05793086
First seen Jan 30, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looks at three different technologies to see if they can help diagnose myofascial pain syndrome, a condition where muscles have painful knots. Researchers will measure the neck and shoulder muscles of 90 people (some with pain, some healthy) using electrical signals, nerve tests, and ultrasound. The goal is to find reliable biomarkers for diagnosis, not to treat the pain.
