Abstract
|
|
|
|
A trigger point (TrP) is a hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscles that is tender when compressed and can give rise to referred pain and local twitch response. Trigger points occurring in muscle and fascia are referred to as myofascial trigger points and they can cause muscle spasm, stiffness, shortening and fatigue, which hinder muscle lengthening, impair muscle coordination and reduce range of motion and muscle strength. Trigger points are usually associated with myofascial pain syndrome, but the etiology and pathogenesis of trigger points have yet to be elucidated. So author reviews to assess the efficacy, safety and results of using trigger point injection (TPI) to treat patients with myofascial pain syndrome, based on a systematic review of the current published evidences.
