NCT ID NCT07572994
First seen May 22, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to a standard lidocaine injection can improve pain relief for people with myofascial pain syndrome, a condition causing muscle pain and tender knots. About 30 adults will receive either lidocaine alone or lidocaine mixed with sodium bicarbonate into their trigger points. Researchers will measure pain levels and muscle activity before and after the injection to see if the mixture works faster or lasts longer.
