title: [Fibromyalgia and trigger points].
abstract: Trigger points in chronic pain and myofascial syndromes are often localized at a distance from the painful area. Infiltration of trigger points with Bupivacaine 0.5% greatly reduces pain and can eliminate it with no need of any other analgesic therapy.
