The article provides information on several clinical studies about myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). A double-blinded controlled study has found that myofascial trigger points are most prevalent among patients with chronic tension-type headache. A background on a study that compared the characteristics of MPS of the abductor hallucis muscle with entrapment syndrome of the abductor digiti quinti in 33 Italian patients with unilateral heel pain is presented.
