Trigger points and myofascial pain in the TMJ

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) myofascial pain and trigger points refer to discomfort or pain in the muscles of the jaw and face, often associated with dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. The temporomandibular joint is the joint that connects the jaw to the skull, allowing for actions such as chewing, speaking, and yawning. Myofascial pain syndrome involves the presence of trigger points, which are hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscles.
