Details and patient eligibility

About

To study the clinical characteristics of headache patients with pericranial myofascial trigger points(MTrPs),and to explore the possible pathogenesis of MTrPs,investigators hope to find the possible electrical biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and to improve the effect of headache treatment.

Full description

A series of neuropsychological test scale including Mini-mental State Examination(MMSE),Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HMAD) were evaluated among all patients.The needle pole electromyography (EMG) inspection were practiced on subjects with myofascial trigger points ,for analysing those electrophysiological characteristics.
