The Effectiveness of Myofascial Release Therapy in Improving Myofascial Pain Syndrome – A Review of Literature

Objective: To methodically review the randomized controlled studies to assess Myofascial Release Therapy's impact on myofascial pain syndrome. Methodology: The articles were collected by search engines including the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), ResearchGate, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Using the phrases and MFR methods, 15 articles were chosen. The information was tallied based on the kind of study, the quantity of participants, the illness being treated, the course of treatment, the end measures, and the conclusions. Result: The result of this review implies that Myofascial Release (MFR) is effective in improving myofascial pain. Conclusion: According to this study, different responses were generated by the findings of MFR techniques. These conflicting results emphasize the need for additional research. This may help with the development of protocols that will enhance interpretations and the need for evidence-based information, as well as the application of MFR in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
