Developing Quantitative Imaging and Other Relevant Biomarkers of Myofascial Tissues for Clinical Pain Management
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Imaging for Myofascial Dysfunction. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to quantify the extent of GlycosAminoGlycan/Hyaluronic Acid (GAG/HA) accumulation using T1rho (T1ρ) MRI in the paretic versus non-paretic shoulder rotator muscles, and correlate the T1ρ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) measurements with US echo texture measurements to develop a clinic-friendly tool to infer the extent of HA accumulation; and to distinguish between latent versus active Post Stroke Shoulder Pain (PSSP) using ultrasound (US) shear strain mapping of the same muscles on the paretic side compared with the non-paretic side.
