Abstract

Introduction: Low Back pain is a very common disorder that affects a significant percentage of people in the community (1). As a non-mechanical cause, myofascial pain is a primary disorder which may produce lumbar and lower limb pain and is not necessarily secondary to other diagnosis (2-5). Trigger Points are the main symptoms of myofascial pain which may mimic the radicular pain in spinal disorders (6, 7). Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of lumbar Myofascial pain syndrome in patients with non-specific chronic low Back pain and a normal MRI study. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 171 patients with chronic low Back pain and normal MRI report (age: 43. 96 ± 13. 6years), (weight: 76. 7± 71. 74 kg), ( height: 166. 44 ± 7. 15 cm). Incidence of this syndrome was evaluated in 16 lumbar and lower extremity muscles (8). The Trigger Points finding was performed by tissue palpation (9). Results: Females constituted 71. 7 % and males 28. 3 % of the participants. The patients maximum incidence percentages were in quadratus lumborum (47. 7℅ )‚ multifidus(43℅ )‚ gluteus medius (36℅ )‚ gluteus maximus (34. 9℅ )‚ piriformis (32. 4℅ ) and other muscles involvement was below 30℅ . In 27. 7% of the patients only two muscles were involved. A significant correlation was shown between the number of involved muscles and age(r=0. 21, p=0. 005) and pain and disability(r=0. 46, p=0. 03). Conclusion: Myofascial pain syndrome should be considered as a hallmark in differentiating chronic low Back pain regardless of MRI finding.
