Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a musculoskeletal chronic pain disorder that affects the majority of pain population and characterized by the presence of trigger points. MPS is usually associated with tenderness, spasm, movement limitation and referred pain .

Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are hyperirritable taut fibers of skeletal muscle. The taut fibers within the muscle create palpable nodules that may cause local pain, and refer pain elsewhere with soft tissue examination .
