Abstract

A complementary study of the clinical aspects of head and neck myofacial pain syndrome (Part 1), was carried out; its scientific foundation is based on the graphical design of human figures in their cranio-cervico-facial portion, where the "active" or "latent" pain triggering points in the muscular complex of both regions were taken into schemes, as well as the reference areas of primary and secondary pain of the cranial and maxillofacial zones. The adequate palpation technique for the identification of these points, is described.
