Myofascial trigger-point acupuncture in relieving chronic pain after endarterectomy.
Acute pain is common following surgery; however, post-operative pain occasionally evolves into chronic pain. If untreated, this pain may become intractable and untreatable. A case of chronic myofascial pain is presented which developed after an endarterectomy was performed, and which was eliminated by using acupuncture in the myofascial trigger points.
