“…Furthermore, he does not believe that masticatory myofascial pain features TrPs, which he supported by citing Quintner et al's narrative review on the topic (Quintner et al, 2015). Dommerholt and Gerwin rejected nearly all arguments expressed by Quintner et al and pointed out that Quintner and colleagues misquoted nearly all references in support of their opinions (Dommerholt and Gerwin, 2015). As such, it is a bit surprising that Laskin based his opinion on the Quintner et al paper, as narrative reviews do not carry much weight compared to systematic reviews (Green et al, 2006).…”

“…The veracity of myofascial trigger points representing true pathologic entities have been questioned and debated [54]. However, leading experts in myofascial techniques consider this to be a biased view [55].…”

From Conventional to Innovative Approaches for Pain Treatment

Chronic pain is a significant burden in all societies. The myofascial origins of chronic pain are often unrecognized but play a major role in chronic pain generation. Myofascial release has been shown to be effective and can augment the limited number of therapeutic tools available to manage chronic pain. However, there is no standardized approach that allows for comparative analysis of this technique. myoActivation ® is a unique therapeutic system, which targets active myofascial trigger points, fascia in tension, and scars in patients with chronic pain. Targets for intervention are determined through obtaining a history of lifetime trauma and a structured, reproducible posture, and movement assessment. Catenated cycles of movement tests, palpation, and needling are used to achieve the goal of pain resolution through restoration of soft tissue integrity. This chapter describes the distinctive features of myoActivation from the important key elements of the patient's clinical history, through to the aftercare instructions. Relevant evidence for each component will be presented. Case studies will be used to illustrate some important concepts and the effectiveness of myoActivation. This chapter is relevant to all clinicians that manage people living with chronic pain.

“…68 Finally, there is controversy regarding the scientific perspective of myofascial pain, and more research studies are needed to clarify this aspect. [69][70][71] Further studies are necessary to improve knowledge on the interrater reliability of myofascial pain.…”

Three blinded raters were able to reach acceptable pairwise interrater agreement (percentage of agreement value ≥70%) for the presence or absence of MTrPs and LTR in the tibialis anterior, as well as for nodules in taut bands, referred pain, and the jump sign for the extensor digitorum longus. The peroneus brevis showed a wide percentage of agreement value, ranging from 31% to 82%. The results of this study showed that expert raters can agree, with slight-to-moderate concordance, with regard to the clinical testing of muscle trigger points by direct palpation of the 3 muscles studied: the tibialis anterior, the extensor digitorum longus, and the peroneus brevis. Interrater reliability seems to be muscle dependent, especially with regard to the depth of the muscle.
