Journal ArticleDOI
An in vivo microanalytical technique for measuring the local biochemical milieu of human skeletal muscle
TL;DR: In conclusion, the described microanalytical technique enables continuous sampling of extremely small quantities of substances directly from soft tissue, with minimal system perturbation and without harmful effects on subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemicals Associated With Pain and Inflammation are Elevated in Sites Near to and Remote From Active Myofascial Trigger Points
Jay P. Shah,Jerome Danoff,Jerome Danoff,Mehul J. Desai,Sagar Parikh,Lynn Y. Nakamura,Terry M. Phillips,Lynn H. Gerber +7 more
TL;DR: Shah et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the biochemical milieu of the upper trapezius muscle in subjects with active, latent, or absent myofascial trigger points (MTPs) and compared this with that of the noninvolved gastrocnemius muscle.
Journal Article
Biochemicals Associated With Pain and Inflammation are Elevated in Sites Near to and Remote From Active Myofascial Trigger Points. Commentary
Jay P. Shah,Jerome Danoff,Mehul J. Desai,Sagar Parikh,Lynn Y. Nakamura,Terry M. Phillips,Lynn H. Gerber,David G. Simons +7 more
TL;DR: The feasibility of continuous, in vivo recovery of small molecules from soft tissue without harmful effects is shown and the milieu of the gastrocnemius in subjects with active MTPs in the trapezius differs from subjects without active MTFs.
Journal ArticleDOI
An expansion of Simons' integrated hypothesis of trigger point formation.
TL;DR: This work proposes an expansion of Simons’ integrated hypothesis to account for new experimental data and established muscle pathophysiology, and proposes a model of trigger point activation to explain known TrP phenomena, particularly endplate noise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Applications of Ultrasound Technology to Visualize and Characterize Myofascial Trigger Points and Surrounding Soft Tissue
Siddhartha Sikdar,Jay P. Shah,Tadesse Gebreab,Ru-Huey Yen,Elizabeth A. Gilliams,Jerome Danoff,Lynn H. Gerber,Lynn H. Gerber +7 more
TL;DR: Preliminary findings show that, under the conditions of this investigation, US imaging techniques can be used to distinguish myofascial tissue containing MTrPs from normal myofAscial tissue (lacking trigger points).
