Zusammenfassung

Myofasziale Triggerpunkte sind eine der häufigsten Ursachen von Schmerzen im muskuloskeletalen System. Sie sind gekennzeichnet durch eine palpable knötchenhafte Verdickung im Skelettmuskel innerhalb eines Hartspannstrangs sowie einem Übertragungsschmerzareal. Die Ätiologie der myofaszialen Triggerpunkte ist nicht völlig geklärt. Wahrscheinlich liegt ihnen ein Wechselspiel zwischen lokalen Muskelspannungserhöhungen in der Nähe von neuromuskulären Endplatten und einer entzündlichen Komponente zugrunde. Haltungsanomalien und Fehlstereotypien spielen ätiopathogenetisch ebenfalls eine Rolle. Für die Behandlung von Triggerpunkten stehen viele Techniken zur Verfügung. Systematische Untersuchungen zur Priorisierung oder Sequenz der verschiedenen Behandlungsansätze fehlen. Pragmatischen Gesichtspunkten folgend sollte zunächst nichtinvasiven Verfahren wie der lokalen postisometrischen Relaxation der Vorzug gegeben werden, gefolgt von trockenem Nadeln und Ultraschall. Überwiegt die Komponente der neurogenen Entzündung, kann die Injektion von Lokalanästhetika oder Botulinumtoxin erwogen werden. Jede Triggerpunktherapie ist dabei in manualmedizinische Konzepte mit Verkettungsdenken einzubinden.
