Myofascial pain syndrome ( MPS ), also known as chronic myofascial pain ( CMP ), is a syndrome characterized by chronic pain in some myofascial trigger point ("knot") and facial splicing (connective tissue). It can appear anywhere on the body.
The characteristics of the myofascial trigger point include: focus point tenderness, pain reproduction at the trigger point of palpation, muscle hardening at the trigger point of palpation, pseudo-weakness of the involved muscles, referred pain, and limited range of motion for about 5 seconds. sustained trigger point pressure.

Symptoms
Myofascial pain is pain in the muscles or fascia (a type of connective tissue that surrounds the muscle). It can happen in separate and separate body areas. Because any muscle or fascia in the body can be affected, this can cause a variety of local symptoms.
In general, constant muscle pain, pain, and deep. Depending on the case and location the intensity can range from mild discomfort to torture and "like lightning". Nodes may look or feel under the skin. The pain does not go away by itself, even after self-help first aid such as ice, heat, and rest.

Cause
Cause The MPS is not fully documented or understood. At least one study overrides the trigger point: "The theory of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) caused by trigger points (TrP)... has been denied.This is not to deny the existence of the clinical phenomenon itself, which is scientifically sound and logical explanations are reasonable based known neurophysiological phenomena. "Some systemic diseases, such as connective tissue disease, can cause MPS. Poor posture and emotional disturbance may also trigger or contribute to MPS.
Diagnosis
Treatment
Massage therapy using trigger-point release techniques may be effective in relieving short-term pain. Physical therapy that involves light stretching and exercise is useful to restore full range of motion and motor coordination. Once the trigger points are gone, muscle strengthening exercises can begin, supporting the long-term health of the local muscular system.
Myofascial release, which involves the manipulation of soft fascia and massage, can improve or remediate the condition.
A systematic review concluded that the dry needle needle for the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome in the lower back appears to be a useful adjunct to standard therapy, but clear recommendations can not be made because the published study is small and of poor quality.
Posture and ergonomic evaluation may provide significant assistance in the early stages of treatment. Motion therapy such as Alexander's Technique and Feldenkrais Method can also help.
Light and sustained stretching exercises in a comfortable range of motion have been shown to reduce pain thresholds. Regular and intense activity is also recommended.
