Myofascial Pain Syndrome– Trigger Points

چکیده
Readers who are seriously interested in the promising potential of electromyographic detection of endplate noise as a gold standard for identifying TrPs and its likely limitations should be sure to consider the comments on and compare the papers by Couppe et al. and by Kuan et al. that are reviewed in this column. Those interested in writing a first-class paper on clinical research on TrPs should be sure to ruminate on the paper by Fernandez et al. For an example of outstanding research with immediate clinical applications, consider the paper by Saggini et al. about differentiatingtwotypesofheelpain.Several review articles, a case study, epidemiology studies, and a study of a new superficial dry needling approach complete this review. Contributions originated in a wide variety of countries, including Brazil, China, Denmark, Italy, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, and the Unites States. As usual, each article review indicates whether it is prepared by Dommerholt [JD] or Simons [DGS].

متن کاملMyofascial Pain Syndrome: A Treatment Review
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is defined as pain that originates from myofascial trigger points in skeletal muscle. It is prevalent in regional musculoskeletal pain syndromes, either alone or in combination with other pain generators. The appropriate evaluation and management of myofascial pain is an important part of musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and regional axial and limb pain syndromes. ...
