      KOL-Index: 14394

      OBJECTIVE: To compare responses to trigger point (TrP) injection between patients having both myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) caused by active TrPs and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and patients with MPS due to TrPs but without FMS.

      DESIGN: Prospective design blinded measurement, before- after trial.

      SETTING: A pain control medical clinic.

      PATIENTS: Group 1: MPS + FMS; Group 2: MPS only. All patients (9 in each group) had active TrPs in the upper trapezius muscle.

      INTERVENTION: Myofascial ...

      Objective: This study is designed to investigate the amount of pressure on a myofascial pain trigger point [TrP] sufficient to initiate referred pain. Methods: Sensitive spots in palpable taut bands of extensor digitorum communis muscles in Group 1 subjects with latent TrPs [no spontaneous pain but tender] and in Group 2 patients with active TrPs [with spontaneous pain] were studied. A pressure algometer was used to measure the threshold of the pressure sufficient to induce local pain, ...

      Nerve inflammation plays an important role in the development and progression of neuropathic pain after chronic constrictive injury (CCI). Recent studies have indicated that hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) is crucial in inflammation. Low-level laser therapy has been used in treating musculoskeletal pain, but rare data directly support its use for neuropathic pain. We investigated the effects of low-level laser on the accumulation of HIF-1α, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and ...

      Objectives: This study is designed to investigate the immediate effectiveness of combining ultrasound [deep heat] therapy and modified electrotherapy for the treatment of myofascial trigger points [TrPs] of upper trapezius [UT] muscle. Methods: Twenty-six patients [12 males and 14 females, average age 42.1 ± 16.4 years] were studied. All patients had myofascial TrPs in one or two sides of the UT muscles. Fifty skeletal muscles were studied. The involved UT muscles were treated with ...

      OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes in pressure pain threshold of the secondary (satellite) myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) after dry needling of a primary (key) active MTrP.

      DESIGN: Single blinded within-subject design, with the same subjects serving as their own controls (randomized). Fourteen patients with bilateral shoulder pain and active MTrPs in bilateral infraspinatus muscles were involved. An MTrP in the infraspinatus muscle on a randomly selected side was dry needled, and ...

      This is a quantitative study of the motoneuronal population of the rat's common peroneal nerve following severe crush injury of the sciatic nerve or its component branches. The crush was performed unilaterally under anesthesia for 60 seconds with hemostat jaws covered with tubing to form a smooth, 2 mm long, injured zone. Recovery from injury was allowed for 14 to 188 days. It was measured behaviorally using the sciatic functional index (SFI) and electrophysiologically by comparing the ...

      OBJECTIVE: To investigate the remote effect of acupuncture on the pain intensity and the endplate noise (EPN) recorded from a myofascial trigger point (MTrP) of the upper trapezius muscle.

      DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial.

      SETTING: University hospital.

      PARTICIPANTS: Patients (N=20) with active MTrPs in upper trapezius muscles and no experience in acupuncture therapy.

      INTERVENTIONS: Patients were divided into 2 groups. Those in the control group received sham acupuncture, and those in ...

      OBJECTIVE: To investigate the remote effect of dry needling on the irritability of a myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle.

      DESIGN: Thirty-five patients with active myofascial trigger points in upper trapezius muscles were randomly divided into two groups: 18 patients in the control group received sham needling, and 17 patients in the dry-needling group received dry needling into the myofascial trigger point in the extensor carpi radialis longus muscle. The subjective ...

      Severe crush of the rat sciatic nerve does not result in any significant cell death among motor neurons (Swett et al., 1991a). The present study reports on the survival of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in the same experiments. From 15 to 187 days after crush of the left sciatic nerve, the common peroneal or sural nerve was cut and labeled distal to the injury with a mixture of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and its wheatgerm agglutinin conjugate (WGA:HRP). In other cases, the ...

      Objectives: The purpose of this article is to review the previously published data on myofascial trigger point injection and to present a proposed technique of myofascial trigger point [TrP] injection modified from tha described by Drs. Travell and Simons. Findings: Trigger point injection is an effective and valuable procedure to inactivate an active TrP, and subsequently relieve the pain and tightness of the muscle involved in myofascial pain syndrome. It is essential to elicit a local ...

      Objective: To determine whether the spontaneous electrical activity observed in trigger spots of rabbit skeletal muscle is restricted only to trigger spots, and to compare that electrical activity to descriptions of potentials from neuromuscular junctions of rabbits from trigger points in human subjects. Methods: Fourteen paired examinations of trigger spots and control sites were performed on surgically exposed biceps femoris muscles in six anesthetized New Zealand Albino rabbits. Each ...

      OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) on the endplate noise prevalence in rabbit myofascial trigger spots to confirm the role of excessive acetylcholine release on the pathogenesis of myofascial trigger points and to develop an objective indicator of the effectiveness of BTX-A in the treatment of myofascial trigger points.

      DESIGN: Eighteen adult New Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups that received a single bolus of BTX-A over a myofascial trigger ...

      OBJECTIVE: To investigate the immediate effect of physical therapeutic modalities on myofascial pain in the upper trapezius muscle.

      DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial.

      SETTING: Institutional practice.

      PATIENTS: One hundred nineteen subjects with palpably active myofascial trigger points (MTrPs).

      INTERVENTION: Stage 1 evaluated the immediate effect of ischemic compression, including 2 treatment pressures (P1, pain threshold; P2, averaged pain threshold and tolerance) and 3 durations (T1, ...

      DESIGN: A retrospective study.

      SETTING: A university-affiliated medical center in Taiwan.

      PARTICIPANTS: Four hundred twenty-three patients (mean age, 55.5y) admitted with the diagnosis of herpes zoster from 1988 to 2000.
