Contribution of Myofascial Trigger Points to Migraine Symptoms

The Journal of Pain, 2007
This 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 ...

Introduction to Myofascial Trigger Points in Dogs

Topics in Companion Animal Medicine, 2014
In dogs, muscles make up 44%-57% of total body weight and can serve as source of both pain and dysfunction when myofascial trigger points are present. However, rarely is muscle mentioned as a generator of pain in dogs, and even less mentioned is muscle dysfunction.

Myofascial Trigger Points

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, 2011
A 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, 2004
Four 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.

Identifying and Injecting Myofascial Trigger Points

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 2001
Myofascial 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, 2020
To 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, 1994
The 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,

Myofascial Trigger Point Pain Syndromes

Seminars in Neurology, 2016
Myofascial 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 ...

Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Trigger-Point Management

Regional Anesthesia: The Journal of Neural Blockade in Obstetrics, Surgery, & Pain Control, 1997
Background and Objectives Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common condition often resulting in referral to a pain clinic. The epidemiology, pathogenesis, and various diagnostic tools are reviewed, and a variety of treatment methods are discussed. Methods
