I'd like to dispute the "no involvement of the muscles or fascia" phrase, since one of the halmarks of MPS is knotted muscles in trigger points, and trigger point injection is one of the treatments. I want to add the Trigger Point information back in. Any concerns? I can dig up some references.
I am going to add back in something about trigger points and provide a cite. Davedrh 04:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC) Wasn't sure the policy/method of citing webpages, so I entered the link I found as an External Link rather than a reference. Will revisit this when I have more time if someone hasn't already done it. Davedrh 04:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
There is a claim in the article that these syndromes are more common in women than men; however, according to the info in the link, FMS is more prevalent in women, but Myofascial Pain Syndrome is evenly distributed. Davedrh 04:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I had a problem with:
The term may be a misnomer, since there is no evidence that there is any abnormality of the muscles or fascia.
Please dont contribute to an article if you are not current on the research. I have edited to reflect the 10 yr old research by Simons.--70.77.14.93 05:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
who the hell is Simons? One sentence just randomly starts with some name. How about "Fullname Simons revealed in 1960 that..." or just make the statement, then put it in a footnote? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.131.146.108 (talk) 07:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Actually, the entire article needs an overhaul to reflect the last 10 years of research. I am not familiar with wiki formatting for citing, etc....anyone else up for the task? Until then I am going to tag it.--70.77.14.93 05:27, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
OK i have no idea how to put a tag on this article and cant figure out how. but anyone reading it should know that it needs a LOT adding to and the part about myofascial pain's relationship to fibromyalgia should be deleted or reworded to reflect currect understanding of both illnesses.--70.77.14.93 05:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree, i'll tag it. Bakerstmd 15:45, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I would just like to add to this that myofascial pain is NOT a syndrome it is a real disorder. It should be refered to as Myofascial Pain Disorder, or MPD , also can be labled as Cronic Myofascial Pain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.51.20.226 (talk) 17:37, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
