[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the effects of traditional Thai
self-massage using a Wilai massage stick(TM) versus ibuprofen on reducing upper
back pain associated with myofascial trigger points. [Subjects and Methods] Sixty
patients who were diagnosed as having upper back pain associated with myofascial
trigger points were randomly allocated to either a massage group using a Wilai
massage stick(TM) or a medication group taking ibuprofen for 5 days. Both groups
were advised to perform the same daily stretching exercise program. Pain
intensity, pressure pain threshold, tissue hardness, and cervical range of motion
were assessed at baseline, immediately after the first treatment session, and on
the fifth day after the last treatment session. [Results] The massage group had
significant improvement in all parameters at all assessment time points. Similar
changes were observed in the medication group except for the pressure pain
threshold and tissue hardness. The adjusted post-test mean values for each
assessment time point were significantly better in the massage group than in the
medication group. [Conclusion] Tradition Thai self-massage using a Wilai massage
stick(TM) provides better results than taking ibuprofen for patients who have
upper back pain associated with myofascial trigger points. It could be an
alternative treatment for this patient population.
