One Williamsburg Place Suite 250 Warrendale PA 15086 by appointment only It postulates that the energy crisis process takes place in the vicinity of motor endplates. This leads to an incresed release of acetylcholine and therefore perpetuates the vicious circle of prolonged contraction. The integrated hypothesis is an expansion of the energy crisis theory and is the most accepted model for the explanation of trigger points. Many studies confirm the energy crisis theory. As a result there is a local release of bradykinin and CGRP which lower the threshold of nociceptive endings. Due to the lack of ATP there is also a decreased reuptake of calcium ions into the sarcoplasmatic reticulum which perpetuates contractions.

On the one hand prolonged contractions have an increased energy demand and on the other hand they compress vessels, which leads to a decreased energy supply. Taut bands are palpable and can be visualized by ultrasound and MRI. Many contracted sarcomeres and muscle fibres cause the taut band. The contraction knots are believed to cause the taut band and make a trigger point feel nodular. The central trigger point (CTrP) and attachment trigger point (ATrP) regions can exhibit abnormal tenderness. Schematic of a trigger point complex in longitudinal section. This in turn causes persistent sarcomere contractions. diagnostic criteria for myofascial pain (2): Fig. trauma, RSI) can cause ruptures of the sarcoplasmatic reticulum which leads to an uncontroled release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmatic reticulum.

The goals of successful trigger point therapy are releasing local sarcomere contractions, increasing local blood flow as well as inhibiting local inflammatory processes. The more precisely trigger points are treated the better the results achieved. There is a worldwide consensus among specialists that the combination of manual trigger point therapy and dry needling are the most effective approaches in the treatment of trigger points.

David Simons, Travell published the groundbreaking Trigger Point Manuals which are now in their second edition and have been translated into 12 different languages. The terms MPS, myofascial trigger point, taut band, local twitch response and their definitions were first published in the fifties by Dr. Up to 85% of patients with chronic pain have an underlying MPS. The myofascial pain syndrome, MPS is one of the most common overlooked diagnoses in chronic pain.
