Abstract:
Background: Palpation is an examination technique used to diagnose and treat myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and fibromyalgia (FM). Currently, there is no validated technique for classifying the results. A valid and reliable pressure pain threshold scale (PPTS) may provide a means for clinicians to grade, document, and report findings. The purpose of this dissertation was to validate a PPTS in patients diagnosed with MPS and FM. Design and Methods: An observational study. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were placed into three equal groups: MPS, FM, and control. All participants underwent one, two-part testing sessions using the American College of Rheumatology criteria. Part-I consisted of palpation with a digital pressure sensor and part-II utilized an algometer. For each tender point (18-total), the participants graded their level of discomfort using the visual analog scale (VAS) and manual tender point rating survey (MTPS) and the examiner graded their response using the PPTS (e.g. ordinal scale with increasing severity from 0-4). Analysis: Intrarater reliability was calculated using the intraclass correlation coefficient model 3, k. Concurrent validity between the PPTS, VAS, and MTPS was calculated using the spearman rank correlation coefficient. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the minimal cut-off value between groups. Results: Eighty-four participants were included in the analysis. The PPTS had good intrarater reliability (ICC ≥.88). A moderate to excellent relationship was found between the PPTS and VAS for all groups with the algometer and digital pressure sensor (rho ≥.61). A moderate to excellent relationship was found between the PPTS and MTPS for all groups with the algometer (rho≥.68) and for the MPS and control group with the digital pressure sensor (rho ≥.71). There was a little to moderate relationship (rho=.01-.50) between the PPTS and MTPS for the FM group with the digital pressure sensor. A cut-off value of 2 on the PPTS differentiated participants with MPS and FM from controls. Discussion: The results provide preliminary evidence validating the PPTS for patients with MPS and FM. Future research should determine interrater reliability, diagnostic accuracy, and efficacy of the PPTS with other chronic pain and orthopedic conditions.

Abstract:
Cenário clínico: A síndrome dolorosa miofascial (SDM) pode ser incapacitante e desafiadora terapeuticamente, devido à ineficácia dos tratamentos convencionais para a dor. Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia da estimulação intramuscular (EIM) na redução da dor e melhora da saúde física e mental de pacientes com SDM. Conduzimos um ensaio clínico randomizado controlado em 60 mulheres, com idades entre 20 e 40 anos, que foram randomizadas para receber EIM, infiltração com lidocaína e falsa eletroneuroestimulação transcutânea (TENS-placebo), duas vezes por semana, durante 4 semanas. Resultados: A redução do percentual de alívio de dor observada na escala análogo-visual de dor (EAVD) durante a primeira semana após o final do tratamento no grupo TENS-placebo foi de 14,01 [intervalo de confiança (IC) 95%; 2,89 a 25,12], o que foi significativamente menor em comparação com o observado nos grupos de infiltração com lidocaína e de EIM, de 43,86% [IC 95%; 26,64 a 61,08] e de 49,74% (IC 95%, 28,95 a 70,54), respectivamente. O tamanho do efeito (TE) sobre a dor, na comparação de TENS-placebo com a EIM e infiltração com lidocaína foi de 1,48 [IC 95%; 0,76 a 2,19] e de 1,20 [0,43 a 1,40], respectivamente. O tamanho do efeito (TE) sobre a dor, na comparação de TENS-placebo com a EIM e infiltração com lidocaína foi de 1,48 [IC 95%; 0,76 a 2,19] e de 1,20 [0,43 a 1,40], respectivamente. A EIM melhorou significativamente os escores da saúde física e mental e o limiar de dor à pressão (LDP). Valores baixos do LDP, antes do tratamento, preveem uma redução do risco de 43% para apresentar um TE pequeno/moderado na dor no grupo da EIM e atitudes positivas, em todas intervenções, aumentaram a probabilidade para uma redução significante na intensidade da dor relatada.. Conclusões: A EIM foi mais efetiva do que o TENS-placebo e pelo menos equivalente à infiltração com lidocaína no tratamento da SDM e na melhora dos sintomas depressivos e da saúde física e mental.
Background: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) can be disabling and therapeutically challenging, because of the inefficacy of traditional pain treatment. Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intramuscular stimulation (IMS) in reducing pain and improving physical and mental health in patientes with MPS. Methods: We conducted a controlled trial in 60 females, aged 20 to 40 years, where the participants were randomized to receive IMS, lidocaine infiltration or TENS-placebo twice a week for 4 weeks. Results: The reduction in the percent pain on a VAS (Visual Analogue-Scale) after the end of the first week of treatment in the TENSplacebo group was 14.01 [95% confidence interval (CI); 2.89 to 25.12], which was significantly lower than for the lidocaine infiltration and IMS groups, which reported 43.86% [95% CI; 26.64 to 61.08] and 49.74 % (95% CI, 28.95 to 70.54), respectively. The ES (effect size) on pain comparing TENS-placebo vs. IMS and TENS-placebo vs. lidocaine-infiltration were 1.48 [95% CI; 0.76 to 2.19] and 1.20 [0.43 to 1.40], respectively. IMS significantly improved the mental and physical health scores and the PPT. Lower PPT values pretreatment predicted a reduction of the risk by 43% of the small/moderate ES in terms of pain in the IMS group and positive attitudes, in all interventions, improved the probability a significant reduction in current pain intensity. Conclusions: IMS was more effective than TENS-placebo and at least equivalent to lidocaine infiltration in treating MPS and improving physical and mental health.

Abstract:
Cenário clínico: A síndrome dolorosa miofascial (SDM), causa comum de dor musculoesquelética, pode ser incapacitante e desafiadora terapeuticamente, devido à ineficácia dos tratamentos convencionais para dor. Intervenções terapêuticas alternativas precisam ser pesquisadas para alcançar vias do processo de doença não contempladas com a terapêutica clássica. Dentre estas, o uso da melatonina, com efeitos cronobiótico, ansiolítico e analgésico, tem se apresentado como uma opção terapêutica atrativa no tratamento da SDM, que cursa com alterações de sono, dor, sintomas depressivos e de ansiedade. Objetivos: Avaliar a eficácia da melatonina exógena na redução da dor, no limiar de dor à pressão (LDP) e na qualidade de sono de pacientes com SDM facial. Métodos e Resultados: Um estudo randomizado, controlado foi realizado em 45 mulheres com dor miofascial, com idades entre 18 e 40 anos, segundo critérios Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorder (RDC/TMD). A eficácia da melatonina oral foi avaliada na redução da dor e melhora tanto do limiar de dor a pressão (LDP) como da qualidade do sono. Os participantes foram randomizados para receber 5 mg / dia de melatonina, 5 mg / dia ciclobenzaprina, ou placebo durante um período de quatro semanas. O efeito absoluto das intervenções, apresentado como ES (tamanho do efeito) sobre a dor: placebo versus melatonina foi de 2,08 (1,17-2,97) e de ciclobenzaprina vs placebo foi de -1,25 (0,45-2,06)]. O número de pacientes necessários para tratar (NNT) para evitar a dor moderada a intensa foi 3 (95% CI, 2-4) e 18 (95% IC, 9 a a) nos grupos de melatonina e de ciclobenzaprina, respectivamente, em relação ao placebo. O ES no LDP melatonina vs placebo e ciclobenzaprina vs placebo foi de 2,72 (1,69-3,75) e 1,01 (0,23-1,79), respectivamente. O ES na escala visual analógica de Qualidade de Sono (VASQS) utilizada para avaliar a forma como as pacientes se sentiram ao acordar, durante o período de tratamento, foi nos grupos melatonina versus placebo de 2,47 (1,49-3,45) e 1,01 (0,23-1,79), respectivamente. Conclusão: Melatonina foi mais eficaz do que placebo para melhorar a dor miofascial crônica facial e ambos os tratamentos foram mais eficazes do que placebo para melhorar o LDP e a qualidade de sono.
Background: The Myofascial Pain Syndrome (SDM), a common cause of musculoskeletal pain, can course with disability and can be a therapeutical challenge, due to the ineffectiveness of conventional treatments for pain. Alternative therapeutic interventions must be researched to achieve the process of the disease process that in not dealt with the classical therapy. Among these, the use of melatonin, which takes effect chronobiotic, anxiolytic and analgesic, has been presented as an attractive therapeutic option in the treatment of SDM, which leads to sleep disturbances, pain, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Objectives: Evaluate the efficacy of exogenous melatonin in reducing pain, pain pressure threshold (PPT) and the sleep quality of patients with chronic myofascial face pain. Methods and Results: A randomized, controlled trial was conducted with 45 females, aged 18 to 40 years who presented myofascial pain according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorder (RDC/TMD) guidelines. The efficacy of oral melatonin was evaluated in reducing pain and improving both the pain pressure threshold (PPT) and sleep quality. Participants were randomized to receive 5 mg/day melatonin, 5 mg/day cyclobenzaprine, or a placebo during a four-week period. The absolute effect of interventions, presented as ES (effect size) on pain for melatonin vs. placebo was 2.08 (1.17 to 2.97) and for cyclobenzaprine vs. placebo -1.25 (0.45 to 2.06)], respectively. The Number of Patients Needed to be Treated (NNT) to prevent moderate to intense pain was 3 (95% CI, 2 to 4) and 18 (95% CI, 9 to ) in the melatonin and cyclobenzaprine groups, respectively compared to the placebo. The ES on the PPT for melatonin vs. placebo and cyclobenzaprine vs. placebo was 2.72 (1.69 to 3.75) and 1.01 (0.23 to 1.79), respectively. The ES on the Visual Analog Sleep Quality Scale (VASQS) scores used to assess how they felt when they woke up during the treatment period for the melatonin vs. placebo were 2.47 (1.49 to 3.45) and 1.01 (0.23 to 1.79), respectively. Conclusion: Melatonin was more effective than placebo for improving chronic myofascial face pain and both treatments were more effective than placebo for improving sleep quality and the PPT.

Objetivo: Este estudo analisou um conjunto de planos de intervenção com ondas de choque extracorporais, no tratamento da síndrome de dor miofascial, no sentido de definir as características que parecem evidenciar um melhor resultado. Métodos: Foi efetuada uma pesquisa bibliográfica através da base de dados, PEDro, utilizando os seguintes termos de pesquisa: “Ondas de choque extracorporais”, “Extracorporal Shock wave”, “Síndrome de dor miofascial” e “Myofascial pain syndrome”. Resultados: Foram selecionados 3 ensaios clínicos com design aleatório controlado que analisaram o efeito de ondas de choque extracorporais em pacientes com síndrome de dor miofascial, com idades entre os 25 e os 74 anos de idade, em ambos os sexos. Conclusão: O protocolo de tratamento com ondas de choque extracorporais, que parece apresentar melhores resultados caracteriza-se por um baixo nível de densidade de fluxo energético, compreendidas entre os 0,056mJ/mm2 e 0,12mJ/mm2 entre os 700-1500 impulsos por sessão. Deverão ser efetuados 1-2 tratamentos por semana, num mínimo total de 3 tratamentos. Para obter os máximos proveitos de um protocolo de tratamento dever-se-á incluir exercícios de estabilização para o músculo afetado, nas sessões de tratamento.
Objective: This study analyzed different therapeutic plans with extracorporeal shock waves in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome aiming to define the plan whose characteristics show the best results. Methods: A literature search was performed through the database, PEDro, using the following keywords: “Ondas de choque extracorporais”, “Extracorporeal shock waves”, “Síndrome de dor miofascial” and “Myofascial pain syndrome”. Results: Three randomized controlled trials were selected to examine the effect of extracorporeal shock waves in patients with myofascial pain syndrome. The subjects comprised individuals with diagnosis of miofascial pain syndrome, aged between 25 and 74 years, where both sexes were equally represented in the study samples. Conclusion: The extracorporeal shock waves treatment protocol that seems to show better results would consist of a low level of energy flux density, ranging between 0,056mJ/mm2 and 0,12mJ/mm2, summing 700-1500 pulses per session. One to two treatments per week summing a minimum of 3 treatments should be made. To achieve maximum therapeutic outcome protocol treatment must include stabilization exercises for the inured muscles.

Abstract:
Apesar da antiga visão mecanicista ao longo do século passado a dor passou a ser avaliada e tratada de forma biopsicossocial, uma vez que diversos aspectos emocionais e sociais podem modular sintomas físicos. A partir da década de 80, a espiritualidade foi incluída neste contexto. Entende-se por espiritualidade a parte essencial individual que controla a mente e o corpo, aquilo que traz significado e propósito para a vida das pessoas. Seu mecanismo é modulatório e aparenta envolver diversas vias endócrinas e imunológicas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a espiritualidade em mulheres com síndrome dolorosa miofascial no segmento cefálico comparada a um grupo controle. Foram avaliadas 24 doentes que freqüentam a Equipe de Dor Orofacial e Centro Interdisciplinar de Dor do Departamento de Neurologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da USP, usando os seguintes instrumentos: 1. Ficha clínica da Equipe de Dor Orofacial (EDOF), incluindo a EVA Escala Visual Analógica; 2. Critérios de Diagnóstico em Pesquisa para Disfunções Temporomandibulares (RDC/TMD); 3. Escala de Perspectiva Espiritual (SPS). Também foram avaliadas as concentrações hematológicas de cortisol, ACTH, C3 e C4, hormônios tireoidianos (TSH, T4L, T3, T4), imunoglobulina total, além de proteína C reativa, fator reumatóide e hemograma completo. Ao final, os dados foram tabulados e analisados estatisticamente. O grupo de estudo apresentou-se mais espiritualizado do que o grupo controle (P=0,048). No grupo de estudo, os indivíduos que apresentaram maior pontuação na escala espiritual apresentaram menos dor miofascial à palpação, menos hábitos parafuncionais como o bruxismo (P=0,049), faziam menos uso de anti-alérgicos (P=0,035), tiveram menos queixas de falta de energia ou lentidão (P=0,016), e menor número de morbidades associadas (P=0,005). Também apresentaram valores menores para ACTH, IgE e plaquetas e maiores para hemoglobina. Em conclusão, abordar a espiritualidade pode ser uma ferramenta no enfrentamento da dor miofascial crônica do segmento cefálico
Despite the old mechanistic view over the last century pain started to be assessed in a biopsychosocial model which included emotional aspects. In the last 30 years, spirituality was included in this context, and it means the essential part under control of the mind and body and that brings purpose to peoples lives. Spirituality can modulate pain by endocrine and immune mechanisms. The objective of this study was to investigate the spirituality in women with myofascial pain syndrome on the head and face compared to a control group. We evaluated 24 patients from the Orofacial Pain Team and the Interdisciplinary Pain Center of the Neurology Department of the Hospital das Clinicas from the Medical School of the University of São Paulo, with the following instruments: 1. Orofacial Pain Questionnaire (EDOF), including the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); 2. Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD); 3. The Spiritual Perspective Scale (SPS). All patients and controls were also investigated about the blood concentration of the following substances: cortisol, ACTH, C3 and C4, thyroid hormones (TSH, FT4, T3, T4), total immunoglobulin, and C-reactive protein, rheumatoid factor and CBC. After all, the data were tabled and statistically analyzed. The study group was more spiritualized than the control group (P=0,048). In both groups, individuals with higher score of spirituality had less myofascial pain at palpation, less parafunctional habits such as bruxism (P=0,049), less use of antiallergic drugs (P=0,035) and fewer complaints of lack of energy (P=0,016) or associated morbidities (P=0,005). They also had lower levels of ACTH and IgE and higher platelet and hemoglobin concentrations. In conclusion, assessing spirituality can be a mechanism of coping with the chronic myofascial pain at the head and face

Abstract:
A síndrome dolorosa miofascial (SDM) é uma disfunção musculoesquelética não articular caracterizada por pontos-gatilho miofasciais. Estes pontos, identificados por meio da palpação, são descritos como bandas tensas na fibra muscular, podendo apresentar dor referida à compressão. Sabe-se que os pontos-gatilho miofasciais provocam hiperatividade simpática regional de temperatura local devido à atividade vasoconstritora cutânea. Para documentação objetiva por imagem desta alteração funcional, a termografia tem sido proposta como método auxiliar diagnóstico. O objetivo deste estudo foi correlacionar os exames clínico e termográfico dos pontos-gatilho nos músculos da mastigação masseter e temporal parte anterior. A amostra constituiu-se por 26 mulheres voluntárias com 41 ± 15 anos. Os resultados demonstraram correlação diretamente proporcional entre algometria e termografia na avaliação do ponto-gatilho miofascial, onde, quanto menor a força aplicada, menor a temperatura local (p<0,001). As áreas com dor referida apresentaram níveis de limiar de dor à pressão (1.28±0.45 kgf) menores quando comparados às áreas de dor local (1.73±0,59 kgf; p<0.001). Sendo assim, a imagem termográfica de um ponto-gatilho apresentou-se hiporradiante quando comparada à região de ausência de ponto-gatilho (ΔT>0,4ºC; p<0.001). Além disso, a avaliação termográfica dos pontos-gatilho nos músculos masseter e temporal pelo gradiente térmico (ΔT e Δθ) apresentou maior sensibilidade e especificidade em comparação com a temperatura absoluta (T), mesmo quando corrigidos estes valores para a temperatura ambiente e temperatura timpânica da voluntária durante o exame (θ). A termografia isoladamente identificou pontos-gatilho com sensibilidade de 62,5% e especificidade de 71,31%. Os autores concluíram que a termografia é um método de imagem não invasivo, com potencial de identificação de pontos-gatilho miofasciais na região facial.
Myofascial pain syndrome is a myalgic dysfunction characterized by myofascial trigger points (MTP). The taut band is a constant feature of a trigger point characterized by referred pain when stimulated. It is known that the myofascial trigger points cause regional sympathetic hyperactivity in local temperature due to the cutaneous vasoconstrictor activity. For detection of functional changes, thermography may be used as an auxiliary diagnostic imaging. The aim of this study was to correlate clinical and thermographic myofascial trigger points in the masticatory muscles masseter and temporalis. Twenty six women volunteers were included, having a mean age of 41 ± 15 years. The results showed directly proportional relationship by algometry and thermography in the assessment of MTP, where smaller the force applied, lower the local temperature will be (p<0.001). Moreover, when the soreness was evaluated and local vasomotor response, the temperature decreases as the worst local situation. PPT (pressure pain threshold) levels measured at the points of referred pain in MTP (1.28±0.45 kgf) were significantly lower than the areas of local pain in MTP (1.73±0,59 kgf; p<0.001). Thus, the thermographic image of a MTP presented colder than the area without trigger point (ΔT>0,4ºC; p<0.001). In the thermographic assessment of MTP in the masseter and temporalis muscles, the results suggest that the parameters of thermal asymmetry (ΔT and Δθ) show greater sensitivity and specificity in comparison to local absolute temperature values (T), even when corrected for the volunteer\'s core temperature and the temperature of the room during the exam (θ). Thermography can identify trigger points (referred pain) with sensitivity of 62,50% and specificity of 71,31%. The authors concluded that thermography is a noninvasive imaging method with potential for screening patients with MTP in the facial region.

Abstract:
Objectives: To assess the expression of the symptoms of jaw muscle pain and its association with alterations in biochemistry, other symptoms and the carriage of staphylococci. Methods: Three different study populations were assessed. The first was selected and examined by the author and consisted of 43 pain and 41 age and sex matched controls. The second was a study of CFS patients who were blinded to the author and the author subsequently examined the associations between jaw muscle symptom reporting and the standardised biochemistry measures. The third study was also blinded to the author but included an investigation of staphylococci and certain cytokine and biochemistry measures. Results: The three studies clearly establish an association between the carriage of toxicogenic coagulase negative staphylococci and the expression of jaw muscle pain in both males and females. These associations were homogeneous and were found whether the patients were selected on the basis of having jaw muscle pain or selected from within a population of patients selected on the basis of having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The studies associated the changes with variations in biochemistry and these were in turn associated with symptom expression within the jaw muscle pain patients. These biochemical alterations included the dysregulation of immune cell counts, cytokines, electrolyte and protein metabolism. These symptoms and biochemical changes were associated with pain severity and illness duration and staphylococcal toxin production. From the data a model was developed which shows the mechanisms involved in the development of chronic pain in the jaw muscles. Conclusions: The carriage of toxicogenic coagulase-negative staphylococci were found to be associated with the expression of jaw muscle pain and the alterations in biochemistry associated with these symptoms.

The studies associated the changes with variations in biochemistry and these were in turn associated with symptom expression within the jaw muscle pain patients. These biochemical alterations included the dysregulation of immune cell counts, cytokines, electrolyte and protein metabolism. These symptoms and biochemical changes were associated with pain severity and illness duration and staphylococcal toxin production. From the data a model was developed which shows the mechanisms involved in the development of chronic pain in the jaw muscles. Conclusions: The carriage of toxicogenic coagulase-negative staphylococci were found to be associated with the expression of jaw muscle pain and the alterations in biochemistry associated with these symptoms.

Abstract:
AbstractMyofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome or myofascial pain disorder is one among the triad of disturbances that is encompassed within the umbrella term, TMJ disorders. Due to a lack of consensus on definitive symptoms and mode of diagnosis, it continues to remain an elusive entity for clinicians working with head and neck disorders and dentists alike. Additionally, There is a general lack of simplification in literature to enhance understanding and this is further complicated by the use of multiple descriptive terminologies to refer to the disorder. It is the objective of this chapter to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject for the reader, to clarify the various nuances of diagnosis, treatment planning and management modalities in addition to throwing light on the evolving terminologies, causative mechanisms and recent trends in MPDS management. The author has also highlighted the importance of a multi modality management approach, psychological rehabilitation with long term patient follow up. The authors personal experience with the use of specialised splints has been elucidated with relevant clinical case scenarios.

Abstract:
Introduction: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a regional painful condition characterized by the presence of trigger points in the affected muscles, and botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is a possible therapeutic option. Objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of botulinum toxin in the management of MSD. Design and setting: A systematic review conducted at the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás. Methodology: A systematic review was conducted in the PubMed, IBECS and VHL databases: “(Myofascial Pain Syndromes OR Myofascial Trigger Point Pain) AND Botulinum toxin”. Randomized studies, clinical trials and case reports published in the last 10 years were selected. Results: Two randomized trials concluded that application of BoNT-A, regard less of the application site, did not show significant improvement in pain intensity compared to the control group. Also, another multicenter, random ized trial reported that application of ToNB-A to the masseter muscles did not result in improvement of SDM within three months of application. Finally, a clinical trial reported improvement in visual numeric scores of myofascial pain in the scapular girdle in subjects who received a second dose (P = 0.019). Conclusion: BoNT-A was not effective in improving SDM at any site of ap plication and in any dosage studied, except in a single study, therefore insuf ficient to state whether subsequent doses have better results.

Abstract:
Acupuncture is a centuries-old traditional therapy that is used to treat a litany of diseases and conditions. Acupuncture is performed by inserting fine needles into specific locations defined in ancient times — acupressure is similarly applied at these points by tissue palpation without needle insertion. Manipulating these acupuncture points is believed to regulate the flow of energy or ‘qi’ through acupuncture meridians to produce specific, far-reaching results. Though no scientific correlate to ‘qi’ has been identified, acupuncture has indeed been demonstrated to be clinically effective for nausea [1] and osteoarthritic pain [2], and suggested for addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma [1]. Despite this evidence, no scientific basis for the location of acupuncture points has been found.

Abstract:
Objective: The aim of this study was to discuss the physiotherapeutic approach to around the scar tissue release in a patient with axillary web syndrome (AWS). Methods: A case report was conducted at the Mastology Program Outpatient Clinic of the Hospital das Clínicas/CORA (Advanced Center in Breast Diagnosis) at the Federal University of Goias. The study was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee of CEP-HC/UFG (opinion Nº 4,217,374), and the participant signed an informed consent form. Case description: A 71-year-old patient was included in the 5th postoperative (PO) period with modified radical mastectomy and left axillary lymphadenectomy for the treatment of breast cancer. She was referred to the physiotherapy service due to edema, pain, and associated to around the scar retraction. The restriction of movement of the homolateral limb was diagnosed with AWS. The approach included manual therapy through tissue mobilization, combined with lymphatic drainage and the use of functional bandages in the surgical plastron and cord region. Result: After three sessions, there was an improvement in edema and to around the scar retraction, gain in amplitude, and reduction in pain, regardless of the presence of a single fibrous cord. Conclusion: Tissue release through techniques aimed at myofascial mobilization, associated with complementary therapies, improved the malleability of the tissue, organized the deposition of collagen fibers, and lubricated the connective tissue, preventing and treating fibrosis, the factors involved in the etiology of SARS. This physiotherapeutic approach in the immediate PO proved to be beneficial in limiting dysfunction and optimizing recovery. More research is needed to understand the clinical aspect and possibilities of interventions related to AWS.
