Summary:Thesis (M.Tech.: Chiropractic) -Dept. of Chiropractic, Technikon Natal, 2002 1 v. (various pagings) === The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of Magnesium phosphate, as an adjunct to dry needling, in the treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS), in terms of objective and subjective clinical findings. MPS is a frequently encountered condition. If not treated adequately, this condition can lead to long term, recurrent pain, as well as patient and physician frustration. Many treatment protocols have been examined with contradictory results and research into epidemiological studies and combinations of various treatment protocols are lacking.
