Journal ArticleDOI
Work related neck–shoulder pain: a review on magnitude, risk factors, biochemical characteristics, clinical picture and preventive interventions
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to scrutinize the physiology of neck-shoulder pain and trapezius myalgia based on the most recent scientific literature to diagnosis of and intervention for neck and shoulder pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increase in muscle nociceptive substances and anaerobic metabolism in patients with trapezius myalgia: microdialysis in rest and during exercise
Lars Rosendal,Britt Larsson,Jesper Kristiansen,Michael Peolsson,Karen Søgaard,Michael Kjaer,Jan Sörensen,Björn Gerdle +7 more
TL;DR: Patients with chronic work-related trapezius myalgia have increased levels of muscle 5‐HT and glutamate that were correlated to pain intensity that indicate that peripheral nociceptive processes are active in work‐related TM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the subcutaneous fat layer, as measured by ultrasound, skinfold calipers and BMI, on the EMG amplitude.
Catarina Nordander,Julian Willner,Gert-Åke Hansson,Britt Larsson,Jeannette Unge,L Granquist,Staffan Skerfving +6 more
TL;DR: Skinfold thickness explains a major part of the inter-individual variance in sEMG amplitude, and normalization to this measure is a possibility worth further evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variation in human salivary cortisol concentration.
Roger Persson,Anne Helene Garde,Åse Marie Hansen,Kai Österberg,Britt Larsson,Palle Ørbæk,Björn Karlson +6 more
TL;DR: A seasonal variation in salivary cortisol concentrations was detected in an occupationally active population and needs to be taken into account when designing and evaluating field studies and interventions and when making comparisons across studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different patterns of blood flow response in the trapezius muscle following needle stimulation (acupuncture) between healthy subjects and patients with fibromyalgia and work-related trapezius myalgia
TL;DR: The intensity of stimulation should be taken into consideration when applying local needle stimulation (acupuncture) in order to increase the trapezius muscleBlood flow in chronic pain conditions is increased and the different patterns of muscle blood flow response to the needling may mirror a state of increased sympathetic activity and a generalized hypersensitivity in patients.
