Nociceptive and Non-nociceptive Hypersensitivity at Latent Myofascial Trigger Points

Abstract

These results confirm the existence of nociceptive hypersensitivity at latent MTrPs and provide the first evidence that there exists non-nociceptive hypersensitivity (allodynia) at latent MTrPs. Finally, the occurrence of referred muscle pain is associated with higher pain sensitivity at latent MTrPs.
