The diagnostic features of a MTrP used in this study have been previously reported and include a palpable
hyperirritable nodule located within a taut band of skeletal muscle, pain recognition on palpation of the trigger point, pain referral to the lateral aspect of the affected shoulder and/ or local twitch response in the muscle (13).
Trigger points are
hyperirritable areas that are locally tender on compression and can cause referred pain and tenderness.
A myofascial trigger point is a
hyperirritable locus (spot) within a taut band of skeletal muscle, located in the muscular tissue or its associated fascia (sheath enclosing the muscle).
When an asthmatic coughs, or breathes in cigarette smoke or irritating fumes, he or she will begin to wheeze--a whistling sound--because the airways are
hyperirritable and have constricted.
The research posters address a potential small molecule treatment program for cellulite as well as a possible treatment for rosacea and hyperirritable skin indications.

INTRODUCTION: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is characterized by regional pain originating from
hyperirritable spots located within taut bands of skeletal muscle, known as myofascial trigger points (MTrPs).
By definition, a myofascial trigger point is described as a
hyperirritable point in a taut band of skeletal muscle fibers with resultant local ischemia and hypoxia along with peripheral and central sensitization.
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a regional condition characterized by trigger points, which are
hyperirritable foci located at the tense bands of skeletal muscle.
In general, antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) either block the initiation of electrical discharges from a
hyperirritable focus or, more commonly, prevent the spread of abnormal electrical discharges to adjacent brain areas.
