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..." current Tag: Visual edit: Switched

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..." current

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..."

It is the only reducing substance that specifically regulates dopamine beta-monooxygenase activity in chromaffin ce..."

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.

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..." current

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..." current

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..." current

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..." current
