• 17:06, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Concept:Trigger Point (Created page with "=General Overview of Myofascial Trigger Points = ---- == A. Background == === Prevalence === Myofascial trigger points (TrPs) are extremely common and become a painful part of nearly everyone's life at some time or another. '''Latent TrPs''', which often cause motor dysfunction (stiffness and restricted range of motion) without pain, are far more common than '''active TrPs''', which additionally cause pain. Among 200 unselected asymptomatic young adults, focal tender...") Tag: Visual edit: Switched
• 12:43, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Concept:Hypometabolism and TrPs (Created page with "'''Hypometabolism''' (thyroid inadequacy) describes the condition of someone whose serum levels of thyroid hormones are in the low euthyroid range, or just below the "normal" two standard deviation limit. It is covered in depth as a perpetuating factor for myofascial trigger points (TrPs) because, when present, the results of specific therapy for myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) can be '''utterly frustrating''' until the hypometabolism is corrected — patients obtain only...")
• 12:43, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Concept:Calcium and TrPs (Created page with "'''Calcium''' is the most abundant mineral in the human body and is essential to muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and the release of acetylcholine (ACh) at the neuromuscular junction — making it directly relevant to the trigger point (TrP) mechanism. Calcium ions control the molecular machinery that initiates and terminates the actin-myosin interaction at the heart of every muscle twitch, and their dysregulation at the motor endplate is central to the hy...")
• 12:42, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Concept:Iron and TrPs (Created page with "'''Iron''' is an essential mineral whose deficiency is estimated to be present in 9–11% of adolescent girls and women of childbearing age in the United States — making it the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency in the developed world. Iron deficiency increases the irritability of myofascial trigger points (TrPs) through multiple mechanisms: it impairs oxygen transport to muscle, disrupts oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria, impairs thermoregulation, disturb...")
• 12:42, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Concept:Vitamin C and TrPs (Created page with "'''Vitamin C (ascorbic acid; L-ascorbic acid)''' is a water-soluble vitamin of major clinical importance to the muscles because it can prevent much postexercise muscle soreness or stiffness, corrects the increase in capillary fragility associated with ascorbic acid deficiency, and interacts strongly with numerous other vitamins important to muscle function. It is the only reducing substance that specifically regulates dopamine beta-monooxygenase activity in chromaffin ce...")
• 12:42, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Concept:Folic Acid and TrPs (Created page with "'''Folic acid''' (pteroylglutamic acid; folate; folacin) is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin whose insufficiency is '''the most common vitamin inadequacy''' and among those most likely to perpetuate myofascial trigger points (TrPs). Its metabolism is inseparably intertwined with that of vitamin B₁₂ — the two vitamins share critical pathways, and treatment of one without establishing the status of the other risks precipitating a deficiency of the second. This page...")
• 12:42, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Concept:Vitamin B12 Cobalamin and TrPs (Created page with "'''Vitamin B₁₂ (cobalamin)''' is one of the most structurally complex of all vitamins and the only one whose only primary food source is bacteria. It is considered together with folic acid because their metabolism and function are intimately linked — the two independently essential enzyme cofactors share critical pathways, and deficiency of one can mask or precipitate deficiency of the other. Both are required for DNA synthesis, and inadequacy of either aggravates...")
• 12:41, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Concept:Vitamin B1 Thiamine and TrPs (Created page with "'''Vitamin B₁ (thiamine)''' is an essential water-soluble vitamin whose primary biological role is in the oxidative metabolism of glucose. It is the vitamin most directly linked to the energy crisis at the heart of myofascial trigger point (TrP) pathophysiology. Thiamine insufficiency increases the susceptibility of muscles to TrPs that are resistant to local therapy until the serum thiamine level is raised to the mean normal level or above. Thiamine has been relative...")
• 12:41, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Concept:Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine and TrPs (Created page with "'''Vitamin B₆ (pyridoxine)''' is considered the single most important vitamin in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) because of its role in energy metabolism, in nerve function, and critically in the '''synthesis and/or metabolism of nearly all the neurotransmitters'''. It is also essential to the metabolism of many proteins, including several neurotransmitters. Pyridoxine deficiency is almost never found alone — it usually occurs with deficiency of other B-complex vitami...")
• 12:29, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Concept:Perpetuating Factors (Created page with "'''Perpetuating factors''' are the systemic, structural, metabolic, and psychological conditions that keep myofascial trigger points (TrPs) active and prevent them from resolving spontaneously or with specific local treatment. Recognition and correction of perpetuating factors is, according to Travell and Simons, '''the most important single aspect''' of myofascial pain management, and the most neglected. The clinical importance of this concept is illustrated by the apo...")
• 11:49, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Muscle:Cervical Rotatores (Created page with "'''Cervical rotatores''' are the shortest and deepest paraspinal muscles of the posterior cervical spine. Their trigger points (TrPs) produce '''midline pain and tenderness at the segmental level of the TrP''' — a pattern analogous to that described for thoracolumbar rotatores. Unlike the longer posterior cervical muscles, their taut bands cannot be identified by palpation; they must be identified by characteristic deep tenderness to pressure in the groove lateral to s...")
• 11:49, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Muscle:Cervical Multifidi (Created page with "'''Cervical multifidi''' are deep diagonal posterior cervical muscles whose trigger points (TrPs) refer pain strongly upward to the suboccipital region and downward over the neck and the upper part of the shoulder girdle. Unlike the longer semispinalis capitis, whose pain encircles the head to the temporal region, multifidi TrP pain is referred '''cephalad to the suboccipital region and caudad toward the scapula'''. Because TrPs in the cervical multifidi are closely ass...")
• 11:49, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Muscle:Semispinalis Cervicis (Created page with "'''Semispinalis cervicis''' is an intermediate-to-deep posterior cervical muscle whose trigger points (TrPs) refer pain into the occipital region in a pattern similar to that of the middle semispinalis capitis, and downward over the neck to the upper vertebral border of the scapula. It is primarily a cervical extensor and contralateral rotator, and its caudal attachments to the relatively immobile thoracic vertebrae serve primarily as anchors for movement of the cervical...")
• 11:49, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Muscle:Longissimus Capitis (Created page with "'''Longissimus capitis''' is a long, relatively narrow posterior cervical muscle whose trigger points (TrPs) refer pain concentrating in the region of the ear or just behind and below it, with possible extension a short distance down the neck and occasionally into a periorbital region behind the eye. It lies deep to the lateral part of the splenius capitis, and its nearly vertical fibre direction helps distinguish it from the more diagonal fibres of the splenius capitis...")
• 11:49, 19 April 2026 Yatreyu talk contribs created page Muscle:Semispinalis Capitis (Created page with "'''Semispinalis capitis''' is a long, nearly vertical posterior cervical muscle whose trigger points (TrPs) produce a band-like headache that encircles the head halfway, reaching maximum intensity in the temporal region and continuing forward over the eye. It is one of the most common muscular sources of tension-type and cervicogenic headache, and its taut bands are responsible for the most clinically important entrapment of the greater occipital nerve. Because it provi...")
