In the muscle tissue, myofascial trigger points are often associated with “taut bands,” which are described as areas of localized increased contraction within the muscle and exhibit increased electromyographic activity. , TNF-α, interleukin-6). Muscle pain reported by myofascial pain syndrome sufferers is well localized. Even in fibromyalgia, sufferers do not complain of diffuse, generalized pain, but rather pain from specific, usually muscle, sources. The reasonably well-localized muscle pain in these conditions has led to the speculation that certain peripheral sites are important pain generators that initiate and may maintain pain in this condition [54].

The majority of these fibers is mechanoreceptors and are activated by distension and contraction of the gastrointestinal smooth muscle [18]. Many of these fibers also encode mechanical distention into the noxious range and may be sensitized by either chemical ROLE OF PERIPHERAL MECHANISMS IN SELECT PAIN CONDITIONS 27 or thermal stimuli, which suggests that these fibers serve as polymodal nociceptors [13,18]. 1b) [19]. Bradykinin and prostaglandins interact in a potentiating way to modulate the sensitivity of spinal afferent endings, reducing the threshold for activation to cause hypersensitivity [13,18].
