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 ...

Management of Myofascial Trigger Point Pain

Acupuncture in Medicine, 2002
Successful management of myofascial trigger point (MTrP) pain depends on the practitioner finding all of the MTrPs from which the pain is emanating, and then deactivating them by one of several currently used methods. These include deeply applied procedures, such as an injection of a local anaesthetic into MTrPs and deep dry needling (DDN), and ...

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 ...

Myofascial Trigger Point Injection

2019
Trigger point injections have been shown to be one of the most effective and well-studied treatment modalities for the inactivation of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) and rapid relief of associated symptoms. Presented below are the clinical findings and diagnostic and treatment options for MTrPs, as well as specific guidelines for the use of trigger ...

Trigger Points and Myofascial Pain

1995
The importance of trigger points and their recognition has been emphasized by many. The latest survey by Travell and Simons [236] is a comprehensive summary and provides the reader with many useful drawings. De Mar [52] has combined the typical electrical impulse described on page 21 for nerve blocking with the therapy of pain via trigger points (by ...

Documentation of myofascial trigger points.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 1988
Two basic diagnostic features of myofascial trigger points (TPs), namely, local tenderness and alteration of tissue consistency (such as in taut bands, muscle spasm), can be documented quantitatively by simple hand-held instruments. A pressure threshold meter (algometer) assists in location of TPs and their relative sensitivity.
