Trigger points are commonly seen in patients with myofascial pain which is responsible for localized pain in the affected muscles as well as referred pain patterns. Correct needle placement in a myofascial trigger point is vital to prevent complications and improve efficacy of the trigger point injection to help reduce or relieve myofascial pain Office based ultrasound-guided injection techniques for musculoskeletal disorders have been described in the literature with regard to tendon, bursa, cystic, and joint pathologies. For the interventionalist, utilizing ultrasound yields multiple advantages technically and practically, including observation of needle placement in real-time, ability to perform dynamic studies, the possibility of diagnosing musculoskeletal pathologies, avoidance of radiation exposure, reduced overall cost, and portability of equipment within the office setting.

Trigger point injection
- 1. Interventions for Myofacial Pain Dr (Maj) Pankaj N Surange MBBS, MD (Anesthesiology), FIPP (Hungary) Director, Interventional Pain and Spine Centre, New Delhi Secretary, World Institute of Pain, India Chapter www.ipscindia.com
- 2. Mechanism of Action of Trigger point Injections • Mechanical disruption of the needle going into the trigger point is the most important part of deactivating a trigger point
- 3. Indications • Indicated for patients who have symptomatic active trigger points that produce a twitch response to pressure and create a pattern of referred pain
- 4. Trigger point injection- Prerequisites • Supine –Prone - Sitting
- 5. Explain the procedure-allay anxiety • Sharp pain • Muscle twitching • Unpleasant sensation as the needle contacts the taut muscular band
- 7. Skin infiltration with 26 g ,half inch needle
- 8. • Needle selection • 22-25 G needle • Length depending on the location of trigger point and body habitus – 1.5 inch to 3.0 inch – Never insert all the way to its hub – inadvertently contact with bone-replace
- 9. Technique • Identification of Trigger points • Active • Latent • First the most symptomatic
- 10. • Fix the trigger point between two fingers • Ensure adequate tension in the muscle fiber • Advance nedle into the trigger point at an acute angle of 30 degrees to the skin
- 11. • Withdraw the needle to the level of the subcutaneous tissue, then redirected superiorly, inferiorly, laterally and medially, repeating the needling and injection process in each direction. • Needle all the loci (active spots) within the primary trigger points
- 13. • Medications, volume, number and doses • 1% Lignocaine vs dry needling • 0.2 to 0.3 ml per trigger point • Without epinephrine.. • Botulinum toxin injection does not offer any advantage over saline or local anaesthetic Ferrante FM, Bearn L, Rothrock R & King L.

- 14. • Not more than four trigger point injections per year.
- 15. Post Procedure Rehabilitation • Injection should be followed by three repetitions of the full range of motion of the muscle, meaning it should be shortened or contacted fully, and then stretched to its longest point. • The patient should then be taught how to stretch the muscle(s) every 60-90 minutes during waking hours.
- 17. • Levator scapuli stretch
- 18. • Posterior neck sretch
- 20. Modalities
- 21. Ultrasound guided Myofacial pain trigger point injection
- 22. Ultrasound guided trigger point injection • Observation of needle placement in real- time
- 23. Ultrasound guided trigger point injection • The possibility of diagnosing musculoskeletal pathologies
- 24. Ultrasound guided trigger point injection • We can avoid injury to important structures around trigger points.
- 25. Ultrasound guided trigger point injection • Avoidance of radiation exposure • Reduced overall cost • Portability of equipment within the office setting
- 27. Complications • Vasovagal syncope-Resuscitation equipment's • Pneumothorax- Fluoroscopy guided • Hematoma-apply 2 min pressure • Nerve injury

Notes de l'éditeur
- Not yet clearly understood.Initially some thought that it is actually fibrositis, so injecting steroids causes relaxation. Some thought that it is ectopic firing of the nerve endings so local anesthetics causes stabilization…..but today the most acceptable theory is mechanical disruption of the muscle fibre causes deactivation of trigger points
- Primarily indicated for active trigger points. Satellite trigger points are also active tps so inj in these is alos an indication. As regrds to latent tps we don’t have conclusive evidence to support to address latent tps.
- Depends on the location of tps and comfort of the patient.
