This study aimed to compare interfascial block therapy with commonly used exercise therapy and conventional invasive dry needling therapy, and to evaluate its effectiveness and superiority. Another objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the short-term and long-term effectiveness of interfascial block, dry needling, and exercise therapies on pain, disability, and quality of life in patients with myofascial pain syndrome. In this respect, our study is important in terms of its contribution to the literature.

Visual Analog Scale
0-10 scale. Higher scores represent more severe pain.
before treatment, 30 minutes after the last session, and 12 weeks after the start of treatment.
Cervical Range of Motion
Will measure flexion/extension, lateral bending, rotation, protraction/retraction in degrees.
before treatment, 30 minutes after the last session, and 12 weeks after the start of treatment.
Neck Disability Index (NDI)
The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is a widely used self-report questionnaire that measures functional disability associated with neck pain. It consists of 10 items scored from 0 to 5, covering pain intensity and daily activities. Higher scores indicate greater disability. The NDI is commonly used in clinical practice and research to assess baseline status and monitor treatment outcomes.
before treatment, 30 minutes after the last session, and 12 weeks after the start of treatment.
Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT)
Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) is a quantitative measure of pain sensitivity assessed using a pressure algometer. It represents the minimum amount of pressure that evokes pain. PPT is widely used in clinical and research settings to evaluate mechanical pain sensitivity, detect hyperalgesia, and monitor treatment effects. Lower PPT values indicate increased pain sensitivity, while higher values reflect reduced sensitivity.
before treatment, 30 minutes after the last session, and 12 weeks after the start of treatment.
12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12)
before treatment, 30 minutes after the last session, and 12 weeks after the start of treatment.
Central Sensitisation Inventory
before treatment, 30 minutes after the last session, and 12 weeks after the start of treatment.
