About this document
New Hypothesis on Trigger Points in MPS by rudhras22 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document proposes a new hypothesis about trigger points (TrPs) which cause myofascial pain syndrome. The hypothesis is that TrPs form due to sustained alpha-motoneuron plateau depolarization maintained by the central nervous system. This causes muscles to contract abnormally. Normally, descending inhibition from the brainstem ensures TrPs remain latent and not painful, but central sensitization may overwhelm this, leading to fibromyalgia. Treatment aims to inhibit the central mechanisms sustaining TrPs
