Magnetic Resonance Elastography of Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Part of paid clinical trials in Rochester, Minnesota.

Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Study ID
NCT05604066
Status
Enrolling By Invitation

Conditions

  • Myofascial Pain

Eligibility Criteria

Sex
ALL
Age
18 Years - N/A
Healthy Volunteers
Accepted

Interventions

  • Magnetic Resonance (MR) Elastography — DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging technique that creates a visual map (Elastogram) to show the stiffness of body tissues
  • MRI structural imaging — DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
    MRI structural imaging will be done at the same time as MR elastography.

Study Details

The purpose of this research study is to use a new imaging technique called Magnetic Resonance (MR) Elastography to create new imaging parameters to measure the mechanical properties of myofascial tissues that can be used to assess the impaired myofascial interface in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).

Arms

  • Experimental: Patients with myofascial-related pain diseases
    Subjects diagnosed with myofascial-related pain disease will receive the research MRI imaging including MR elastography and MRI structural imaging.
  • Experimental: Healthy controls without myofascial-related pain diseases
    Subjects without myofascial-related pain disease will receive the research MRI imaging including MR elastography and MRI structural imaging.

Primary Outcome Measure

The fascia plane mobility assessed by MR Elastography-based normalized octahedral shear strain (NOSS) measurements [ Time Frame: baseline measures through the study completion (3 years) ]
