TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 113. Trigger Point Injections A1 - Reichman, Eric F. Y1 - 2013 N1 - T2 - Emergency Medicine Procedures, 2e AB - Musculoskeletal pain is a significant health problem for the North American population.1–9 Such pain affects between 10% and 20% of the population and is a major cause of morbidity.1 It is estimated that approximately half of the chronic pain complaints result from a musculoskeletal origin.2 It is hypothesized that myofascial trigger point (MTrP) injections may alleviate much of this pain. It is imperative that the Emergency Physician perform a thorough history and physical examination, with an emphasis on the neurological and orthopedic examination to exclude other causes of musculoskeletal pain.3 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=57711973 ER -
