dc.description.abstract | Even though chronic abdominal pain is 1 of the most common reasons for hospital visits, diagnostic testing is often time-consuming and treatment is inadequate. Abdominal myofascial pain syndrome (AMPS) is usually not included as a differential diagnosis, but it should be considered in cases of chronic abdominal pain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of AMPS and to assess the effect of sonography-guided trigger point injections (TPI). A total of 100 patients with AMPS from 2012 to 2018 were retrospectively evaluated for clinical characteristics and TPI effects. AMPS was diagnosed using Srinivasan and Greenbaum's criteria, and the TPIs were performed at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ratio was calculated by subtracting the final VAS from the initial VAS score and dividing it by the initial VAS score after injections, and the patients were divided into 4 groups: non-responders, mild, moderate, and good responders. The median duration of pain was 12 months, and the median number of hospital visits before TPI was 2. Of the 100 patients, 66 (66%) were categorized as good responders, 11 (11%) as moderate responders, 7 (6.9%) as mild responders, and 16 (15.7%) as non-responders. When the initial and final VAS scores were compared, the sonography-guided injections were found to be effective in alleviating pain (P < .001). Moreover, patients who received the injections 2 or more times tended to have more significant pain reduction than those who received a single injection (P < .001). Patients with AMPS suffer from long-term pain and undergo many hospital visits and diagnostic tests. TPI with lidocaine can be an effective and safe treatment for patients with chronic AMPS. | - |
