Anesthesiology Clinics, 2007
Painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system, including myofascial pain syndrome, constitute some of the most important chronic problems encountered in a clinical practice. A myofascial trigger points is a hyperirritable spot, usually within a taut band of skeletal muscle, which is painful on compression and can give rise to characteristic referred

Latent Myofascial Trigger Points
Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2011A latent myofascial trigger point (MTP) is defined as a focus of hyperirritability in a muscle taut band that is clinically associated with local twitch response and tenderness and/or referred pain upon manual examination. Current evidence suggests that the temporal profile of the spontaneous electrical activity at an MTP is similar to focal muscle ...

Myofascial Pain Syndromes–Trigger Points
Journal of Musculoskeletal Pain, 2004Four articles this quarter present major progress in new experimental data. Hou et al. demonstrated in rabbits that motor endplate potentials [spontaneous electrical activity] of trigger spots are partially dependent on increased calcium channel permeability. Delaney et al.

Myofascial Trigger Points in Early Life
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2007To determine whether latent myofascial trigger points (MTPs) can be identified in healthy infants and in healthy adult subjects.Blind comparison.Ambulatory.A convenience sample of 60 healthy adults and 60 infants (age range, 0-12mo).Not applicable.An algometer was used to measure the pressure pain threshold (PPT) on 3 different sites, including a ...

Identifying and Injecting Myofascial Trigger Points
The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 2001Myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by the presence of discreet, hypersensitive nodules known as trigger points. A myofascial trigger point is a hyperirritable locus within a taut band of skeletal muscle, located in the muscle and/or fascia (1).

Sympathetic hyperinnervation in myofascial trigger points
Medical Hypotheses, 2020To evaluate the local distribution and activity of sympathetic nerves in myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) and explore the pathological mechanism of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) using a rat model of disease.MPS was modeled in the model group (MG) by a combination of blunt trauma and eccentric exercise in Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 8).

Neurobiology of the myofascial trigger point
Baillière's Clinical Rheumatology, 1994The clinical phenomenon of the MTrP is accessible to any clinician who takes the time to learn to palpate skeletal muscle gently and carefully, and who is willing to learn the functional anatomy necessary to understand the regional spread of MTrPs through functional muscle units (Travell and Simons, 1992). Yet despite the years of clinical study of MPS,

Contribution of Myofascial Trigger Points to Migraine Symptoms
The Journal of Pain, 2007This study evaluated the contribution of myofascial trigger points (TrPs) to migraine pain. Seventy-eight migraine patients with cervical active TrPs whose referred areas (RAs) coincided with migraine sites (frontal/temporal) underwent electrical pain threshold measurement in skin, subcutis, and muscle in TrPs and RAs at baseline and after 3, 10, 30 ...

Myofascial Trigger Point Pain Syndromes
Seminars in Neurology, 2016Myofascial pain syndromes caused by trigger points (TrPs) in muscle are a common cause of local and generalized pain. Trigger points are hyperirritable zones in contracted bands of muscle, thought to be caused by muscle overload or stress. Stress TrPs have characteristic electromyographic features, and can be visualized with ultrasound and magnetic ...
