1 Attenuated Skin Blood Flow Response to Nociceptive Stimulation of Latent Myofascial Trigger Points 
Yang Zhang, PhD, Hong-You Ge, MD, PhD, Shou-Wei Yue, MD, PhD, Yoshiyuki Kimura, PhD, Lars Arendt-Nielsen, DrMedSci, PhD  Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation  Volume 90, Issue 2, Pages (February 2009) DOI: /j.apmr Copyright © 2009 American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 The position of the forearms and hands and the points extracted for analysis. The hands were kept in the neutral position. Skin blood flow and temperature at the local area, midarea, and presumed referred pain area (first web) were extracted for analysis.

3 Fig 2 Resting intramuscular (upper trace) and surface (lower trace) EMG activity from latent myofascial trigger points. Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation  , DOI: ( /j.apmr ) Copyright © 2009 American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 Pain intensity measured with VAS after EMG-guided intramuscular injection of glutamate into latent MTrPs and non-MTrPs. *P<.05 compared with non-MTrPs.

6 Fig 5 Skin blood flow at the local area (A and B), midarea (C and D), and presumed referred pain area (E and F) on the ipsilateral and the contralateral side before, during, and after pain induced by glutamate injection into latent MTrPs and non-MTrPs. Typical laser scanning flowmetry of the forearm after glutamate injection into latent MTrPs (G) and non-MTrPs (H). *P<.05 compared with latent MTrPs. §†P<.05 compared with prepain.
