The theory of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) caused by trigger points (TrPs) has long been accepted by many practitioners who work hard to treat this condition.

This paper looks at all the evidence relating to the subject and offers plausible explanations and considerations for the treatment of MPS patients.
