Summary
A topical anesthetic gel lidocaine has been widely used as a local anesthetic to reduce the
pain and discomfort. It provides local analgesia by blocking the initiation and transmission
of impulses. Lidocaine topical anesthetic gel allows the use of high concentrations of the
anesthetic bases without concern about local irritation, uneven absorption or systemic
toxicity (Argoff, 2000 ). So, the aim of this study is to compare between the effect of
lidocaine phonophoresis and pulsed ultrasound in myofascial pain syndrome in swimmers
children.
