MPSs can mimic or cause many common conditions such as chronic daily headache and pelvic pain because of the pain referral patterns of the trigger points.doi:10.1007/978-3-642-05468-6_2Robert GerwinSpringer Berlin Heidelberg
The clinical science of trigger points can be traced to the pioneering work of Kellgren in the 1930s, with his mapping of myotomal referral patterns of pain resulting from the injection of hypertonic saline into muscle and ligaments. Most muscles have characteristic myotomal patterns of referred ...
Case presentation: A case of non-odontogenic toothache in the mandibular anterior teeth due to myofascial pain with referral from trigger points in the anterior digastric muscle is presented. The patient had significant relief with a trigger point injection of the anterior digastric muscle. ...
Myofascial pain syndromes involve the development of a trigger point (TP). A TP is a hypersensitive spot located within a taut band of skeletal muscle. Characteristics of an active TP include a referral of pain that often reproduces the distribution of pain that the patient typically experiences...
2002). The term myofascial pain was introduced in the early 1950s by Janet Travell. She also defined the term myofascial TrP and demonstrated with David Simons that individual muscles have specific nondermatomal patterns of TrP pain referral (Simons, D. G.et al., 1999). In 1983, both aut...
A review of the clinical characteristics of 164 patients whose chief complaints led to the diagnosis of MPS revealed that these patients had (1) tenderness at points in firm bands of skeletal muscle that were consistent with past reports, (2) specific patterns of pain referral associated with ...
Pelvic floor myofascial pain is characterized by muscular pain, taut bands, and trigger points that cause pain referral with pressure, usually due to underlying overuse or weakness. Pelvic floor myofascial dysfunction refers to abnormal muscle activation patterns. Understanding the anatomic relationship of...

members of the American Equilibration Society was undertaken in order to identify the most commonly used treatments for myofascial pain dysfunction. A questionnaire was constructed such that myofascial pain dysfunction was defined, all treatments (including referral) were listed, and a percentage-of-use...
Diagnostic findings in the physical examination include observation of TrPs in an affected muscle, referral of pain to a zone of reference, and reproduction of the patient’s usual pain. • Early diagnosis and treatment with a comprehensive multimodal approach is optimal. ...
