Interrater reliability in myofascial trigger point examination.
The myofascial trigger point (MTrP) is the hallmark physical finding of the myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). The MTrP itself is characterized by distinctive physical features that include a tender point in a taut band of muscle, a local twitch response (LTR) to mechanical stimulation, a pain referral pattern characteristic of trigger points of specific areas in each muscle, and the reproduction ...
متن کاملUltrasound-Guided Trigger Point Injection for Myofascial Trigger Points in the Subscapularis and Pectoralis Muscles
www.eymj.org We read with great interest the article by Shin, et al. in the May 2014 issue of the Yonsei Medical Journal. The authors described the application of ultrasound-guided (USG) trigger point injection for myofascial trigger points in the subscapularis and pectoralis muscles to post-mastectomy patients. The article was supported by four USG pictures. We, as anesthesiologists, have been...
متن کاملMyofascial trigger points.
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 pain, motor dysfunction, and autonomic phe...
متن کاملComparing the Effect of Shockwave Therapy and Low Level Laser on Treatment of the Myofascial Trigger Points of Trapezius Muscles: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Background and Objectives: Muscles are known as organs which can generate pain in human body. Among different types of muscle pain, myofascial trigger points (MTPs) are very common. The aim of this study was comparing the effect of shockwave therapy (SWT) and low level laser therapy (LLLT) on the treatment of the MTPs of trapezius muscles. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial ...
متن کاملEtiology of Myofascial Trigger Points
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is described as the sensory, motor, and autonomic symptoms caused by myofascial trigger points (TrPs). Knowing the potential causes of TrPs is important to prevent their development and recurrence, but also to inactivate and eliminate existing TrPs. There is general agreement that muscle overuse or direct trauma to the muscle can lead to the development of TrPs. M...
