| Abstract | ||
| Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the efficiency of sensorimotor control (SMC) training on pain intensity for patients with cervical myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Methods: Forty patients with chronic MPS were recruited for the study. Their age ranged from 18 to 40 years old. They were referred by an orthopedist with the presence of cervical MPS due to latent myofascial trigger points. They were allocated into two equal groups; Group A received the evidence-based PT program alone while Group B received SMC training program combined with the evidence-based PT program. All patients received 12 sessions of supervised intervention, three times a week for four weeks. Pain intensity was evaluated using the visual analogue scale. Results: There were significant differences in Group B as compared to Group A p-value≤ 0.05. Conclusion: The SMC training combined with the evidence- based PT program is more effective than the evidence-based PT program alone in reducing pain intensity for patients with cervical MPS. | ||
