- 01 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: The evolving role of the myofascial trigger point (MTrP) in MPS from both a historical and a scientific perspective is discussed in this article, where the authors chronicle the advances that have led to the current understanding of MTrP pathophysiology and its relationship to MPS and review the contributions of clinicians and researchers who have influenced and expanded our contemporary level of clinical knowledge and practice.

Lidocaine injection versus dry needling to myofascial trigger point. The importance of the local twitch response.

Chang-Zern Hong
- 01 Jul 1994 - 
TL;DR: It is essential to elicit LTRs during injection to obtain an immediately desirable effect, and TrP injection with 0.5% lidocaine is recommended, because it reduces the intensity and duration of postinjection soreness compared with that produced by dry needling.

Q1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "Dolor músculo esquelético y terapia neural: una revisión sistemática de la literatura" ?

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neural therapy in the management of musculoskeletal pain, through a systematic review of the literature. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of the literature was carried out, following the epidemiological guidelines for this type of research design. Two reviewers assessed the titles and abstracts, of which 56 articles were chosen ; in the second full-text review, 15 articles were included. The total number of patients in the included articles was 1. 320, the majority being women, equivalent to 66 % ( n=869 ) and the remaining 34 %, men ( n=451 ). This is the first systematic review of the literature, which presents the efficacy and safety of neural therapy in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, carried out in the bibliographic bases, traditionally used by researchers of the biomedical model, because interpreting the complex, dynamic nature and multidimensional of the painful experience, it is a challenge for any health perspective, in isolation ; Pain can not be disassociated from an affective entity that gives it meaning, from a notion that links the physiological phenomenon to the person 's moral growth.

El dolor es necesario para la supervivencia, pero el dolor persistente puede provocar ansiedad, depresión y una reducción de la calidad de vida (Hunt & Mantyh, 2001).
