| | Trigger point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Trigger points may be painful on compression and may elicit referred pain, tenderness and motor dysfunction. | | | Treatment of trigger points may be by massage (pincer palpation by hand or pressure by elbow or foot), mechanical vibration, pulsed ultrasound, electrostimulation [4], local compression, injection of saline, CO or local anesthetic such as procaine hydrocloride (novocain), dry-needling without anesthetic or saline, or "spray-and-stretch" using a cooling (vapocoolant) spray. | | | Practitioners of medical acupuncture often use trigger points as the basis for their treatment and studies have shown a considerable similarity between the locations of trigger points and classic acupuncture points. |

| | Fibromyalgia Trigger Point |
| | Trigger points cause myofascial pain syndrome, which often coexists with fibromyalgia, but can be treated with massage, physical therapy, or gentle stretching. | | | This is the strict definition for being included in a clinical study of fibromyalgia, but tender points may change from time to time, and may worsen or get better in the cyclical way that this syndrome seems to work. | | | Remember, a tender point has to be painful at palpation, not just "tender." When pressed, these areas tend to feel like bruises in various stages of healing. |

| | Trigger-Point Grading |
| | For it to be classified as a trigger point, the primary criteria must be a change in the patient's perception of the pain (again, ask the patient) within approximately 10 to 45 seconds (generally reduced pain or centralization, or from sharp to dull). | | | An active trigger point that elicits an objective sign is classified as a "4." Any trigger point without this objective evidence is classified as a "3," regardless of the severity described by the patient. | | | Trigger point found on examination: Moderate or firm pressure held for approximately one second, which would usually not cause pain in the given spot of application, may cause pain. |
