Ultrasound Imaging for Myofascial Pain
NCT05928884 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate a biomarker for lumbar myofascial pain (MP) based on ultrasound obtained measurements of the lumbar muscles and fascia. The investigators will use advanced machine learning approaches and validation in a randomized controlled trial. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will the deep learning-based marker reliably identify subjects from the 4 different groups: healthy, MP without trigger points, MP with latent trigger points, and MP with active trigger points? * Will the deep learning-based marker accurately classify/predict the severity of MP in subjects with cLBP? Participants in the healthy group will be asked to do the following tasks: * Consent/Enrollment * Measure Height/Weight * Complete Questionnaires on REDCap * Participate in Ultrasound Imaging Experiment Sessions Participants in the chronic low back pain group will be asked to do the following tasks: * Consent/Enrollment * Complete Questionnaires on REDCap * Measure Height/Weight * Undergo a Standardized Clinical Exam * Participate in Ultrasound Imaging Experiment Sessions

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05928884
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05928884 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 124 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Pittsburgh, which has 1,082 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Chronic Low-back Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which There is no intervention. It is a phenotyping study only is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05928884 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above.
