The Local and Referred Pain From Myofascial Trigger Points in the Temporalis Muscle Contributes to Pain Profile in Chronic Tension-type Headache

Abstract

In CTTH patients, the evoked local and referred pain from active TrPs in the temporalis muscle and its sensory characteristics shared similar patterns as their habitual headache pain. Local and referred pain from active TrPs in the temporalis muscles may constitute one of the sources contributing to the pain profile of CTTH.
