Preliminary evidence of safety and effectiveness of Loxoprofen Sodium Cataplasm combined with physiotherapy for myofascial pain syndrome treatment: A randomized controlled pilot clinical trial.

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is one of the most common causes of chronic skeletal muscle pain, which is closely related to skeletal muscle myofascial trigger point (MTRP). Since there is no first-line treatment for MPS, we investigated Loxoprofen Sodium Cataplasm combined with physiotherapy as a non-invasive therapy in patients at different levels to a protocol with superior efficacy that is safe and easy to promote. Moreover, this treatment could represent an alternative therapeutic strategy for low-income patients to a safer, more convenient, and more economical treatment scheme.
