  • Title: Diagnosis and treatment of myofascial pain.
    Author: Kraus H, Fischer AA.
    Journal: Mt Sinai J Med; 1991 May; 58(3):235-9. PubMed ID: 1875961.
    Abstract:
    The importance of muscle as a source of pain should not be underestimated. Proper diagnosis of the four types of muscle pain (tension, spasm, muscle deficiency, and trigger points) is essential to effective management. Pain-diagnostic instruments can quantify tenderness and spasm and help evaluate treatment results.
