Abstract

Objectives the aim of this study was to to compare lidocaine versus methyl salicylate patches in treatment of myofascial pain.Materials and methods: thirty patients sufferred from myofascial pain in head and neck muscles were divided randomly into three groups: Group one (10 patients): was treated with methyl salicylate patch. Group two (10 patients): was treated through lidocaine patch .Group three (10 patients): was acted as a controlled group through the application of plain patches without any active ingredient. Each patient has received one patch that had replaced by the patient every 12 hours; the patient informed to remove the last patch 12 hours before the visit on day five. All evaluations (pain intensity, degree of mouth opening, range of motion, disability) repeated on day five (12 hours after removal of the last patch) and on day nine (after four days of follow up). Results significant reduction in pain intensity, significant increase in mouth opening and lateral movement and significant improvement in quality of life with methyl salicylate and lidocaine patches. Conclusions Methyl salicylate and Lidocaine patches are effective in treatment of Myofascial pain
