Background Trigger points have been shown to be active in many myofascial pain syndromes. Treatment of trigger point pain and dysfunction may be explained through the mechanisms of central and peripheral paradigms. This study aimed to investigate whether the mind/body treatment of Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) could significantly relieve pain sensitivity of trigger points presenting in a cohort of chronic neck pain sufferers. Methods Sixty participants presenting to a private chiropractic clinic with chronic cervical pain as their primary complaint were sequentially allocated into treatment and control groups. Participants in the treatment group received a short course of Neuro Emotional Technique that consists of muscle testing, general semantics and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The control group received a sham NET protocol. Outcome measurements included pain assessment utilizing a visual analog scale and a pressure gauge algometer. Pain sensitivity was measured at four trigger point locations: suboccipital region (S); levator scapulae region (LS); sternocleidomastoid region (SCM) and temporomandibular region (TMJ). For each outcome measurement and each trigger point, we calculated the change in measurement between pre- and post- treatment. We then examined the relationships between these measurement changes and six independent variables (i.e. treatment group and the above five additional participant variables) using forward stepwise General Linear Model. Results The visual analog scale (0 to 10) had an improvement of 7.6 at S, 7.2 at LS, 7.5 at SCM and 7.1 at the TMJ in the treatment group compared with no improvement of at S, and an improvement of 0.04 at LS, 0.1 at SCM and 0.1 at the TMJ point in the control group, (P < 0.001). Conclusion After a short course of NET treatment, measurements of visual analog scale and pressure algometer recordings of four trigger point locations in a cohort of chronic neck pain sufferers were significantly improved when compared to a control group which received a sham protocol of NET. Chronic neck pain sufferers may benefit from NET treatment in the relief of trigger point sensitivity. Further research including long-term randomised controlled trials for the effect of NET on chronic neck pain, and other chronic pain syndromes are recommended. Trial Registration This trial has been registered and allocated the Australian Clinical Trials Registry (ACTR) number ACTRN012607000358448. The ACTR has met the requirements of the ICMJE's trials registration policy and is an ICMJE acceptable registry.

Good Evening beautiful people how is everyone Thursday going? Mines going great can't complain. I know I haven't been that consistent and I apologize this month has been very teaching to me. I wanted to come today and talk about self-doubt I struggle with this a lot. I'm learning I have to keep a clear mind on this journey I'm on and keep positive thoughts coming to my mind. Which is easier said than done I'm learning myself and my triggers and emotions. And how to let go of the past that weighs so heavily on my back. Which is where a lot of my self-doubt comes from. I have to remember that I am beautiful and have so much to live for. And I can't let my thoughts or moments in life get me distracted from the bigger picture. Every lesson bad or good is just that a lesson a teachable moment. I have to sit back and analyze the lesson and move forward. I just wanted to share my thoughts with you guys I love you all. And we are all on this journey together. Peace and blessings to you all, please comment and share. ”I seek strength, not to be greater than other, but to fight my greatest enemy, the doubts within myself” -unknown https://www.bloglovin.com/blog/19894993/?claim=jvc4jtgymt7
