Abstract

Even in the absence of any specific abnormal pathologic findings of the gastrointestinal tract, many patients still suffer from. fullness, anorexia and postprandial abdominal pain. As these symptoms are similar to visceral origin pain, many physicians focus on the discovery of pathologic abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract. At our Yoido Pain Clinic, after diagnosing myofascial pain syndrome, we treated 64 patients by trigger point injection and physical therapy on abnormal abdominal muscle, from June 1993 to April 1995. Most patients cenditions improved after these treatments.
