Abstract EN
Objective.
To determine whether the vasodilatation effect of monochromatic infrared photo energy (MIRE) had the potential for the treatment of myofascial trigger spot (MTrS) in rabbits.
Design.
A randomized-controlled animal study.
Subjects.
Twelve adult New Zealand rabbits.
Methods.
For each rabbit, a MTrS (equivalent to a myofascial trigger point in humans) in one side of the biceps femoris muscle was randomly selected for MIRE treatment (experimental side), while another MTrS in the other side (control side) received a sham treatment.
The intervention consisted of a daily 40 minutes treatment, three times per week for 2 weeks.
The prevalence of endplate noise (EPN) loci in the MTrS was assessed before, immediately after, and one week after the completion of the 2-week treatment.
Results.
MIRE could suppress the prevalence of EPN in the MTrS.
The degree of reduction in EPN prevalence in the MTrS between the experimental side and the control side was significantly different immediately after MIRE treatment, but not significantly different one week after MIRE treatment.
Conclusion.
Our study suggests that MIRE may be a useful therapeutic option for the management of the myofascial trigger point in humans.
