Summary
This trial will use a new imaging technique to measure myofascial stiffness to assess MPS, aiding in early diagnosis and treatment.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy volunteers who have not had chronic pain in their lower back or legs that affects daily life. Participants should currently experience minimal pain (less than 0.5 on a 10-point scale) and must understand the study's purpose to give informed consent.
What is being tested?
The study is testing Magnetic Resonance (MR) Elastography alongside MRI structural imaging to develop new ways of measuring myofascial tissue properties, which could help assess issues related to Myofascial Pain Syndrome.
What are the potential side effects?
As this trial involves MR imaging techniques, side effects may include discomfort from lying still during the scan, loud noises from the machine, and feelings of claustrophobia. There are typically no significant side effects associated with MRI.
