Increased muscle tension can result in a number of pain syndromes related to trigger point formation, strains and myofascial pain syndromes. The trapezius muscle, commonly involved in neck/shoulder upper limb disorders, may be more sensitive to emotional stress-related factors, as it is innervated via both the cervical spine and the accessory cranial nerve. It has been suggested that it may have an evolutionary role in communicating a stress response by hunching the shoulders or in assuming a protective posture when under perceived attack (Cailliet, 1991).

Myofascial trigger point is a hyperirritable spot usually on a band of muscle that is painful on precise compression and can give rise to referred pain, tenderness, and autonomic and other epiphenomena. Twitch responses are usual. These points are found in areas with high concentration of the endplate420,421 (Figure 6.53).

The aggravation associated with back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to sudden, sharp pains. It comes from a variety of different causes and affects men and women of different ages. The pain varies according to the postures and the physical activities and many reports have suggested that myofascial syndrome is a very common cause of LBP (Sharan, Rajkumar, Mohandoss, & Ranganathan, 2014; Simons & Travell, 1983). Myofascial pain syndrome is defined as pain that originates from myofascial trigger points in skeletal muscle. It is prevalent in regional musculoskeletal pain syndromes, either alone or in combination with other pain generators.

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), also known as myofasciitis, which is the pain due to aseptic inflammation of muscles and fascia that stimulates small nerves on the body surface.[1] MPS is characterized by multiple trigger points (TP) and muscle tension in the muscles and fascia of different parts of the body. The TPs are sensitive to stimulation, and prone to cause local pain and involved pain.[2,3] MPS can occur at any age, and its incidence can reach 30%–93%. The pathogenesis of MPS is not yet clear, which render the treatment of the MPS disease.
