Chronic Scapulothoracic Pain
At the conclusion of this activity, you should:
Appreciate the degree to which myofascial painsyndromes from the scapulothoracic region can cause shoulder pain.
Understand the importance of treating predisposing factors in myofascial pain syndromes.
Know that successful treatment requires a multi-factorial approach.

The Shoulder...
The shoulder consists of four joints:
1.Glenohumeral
2.Acromioclavicular
3.Sternoclavicular
4.Scapulothoracic
It’s not just a “Joint,” but a “Complex.”

Differential Diagnosis
Shoulder pain arising from problems:• Intrinsic to the A-C / glenohumeral joints, or
• Extrinsic “ “ “ “(“referred pain” patterns)– Somatic– Visceral

Travell Trigger Points (TrPs) & Myofascial Pain Syndrome
• TrP: "a hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle that is associated with a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut band. The spot is tender when pressed and can give rise to characteristic referred pain, motor dysfunction, and autonomic phenomena.
• Palpation is a reliable diagnostic criterion for locating TrPs.

Travell Trigger Points (TrPs) & Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Etiology of TrPs:1. Local myofascial tissues
- Motor end plate dysfunction cascade5
- from genetic defects, or- acquired defects (nicotine, caffeine,
psychological & physiological stress2. CNS factors (central sensitization)4,5
3. Biomechanical factors

Treatment (cont’d)
• Fix the SLEEP problem!No sleep. No relief. No hope.
• Raise SEROTONIN levels.
• Treat the depression &/or anxiety.

Treating Insomnia• R/O Obstructive Sleep Apnea
• Trazodone (Desyrel)– Allow self-titration– Explicit verbal & written instructions– Treatment failures?…
Bipolar until proven otherwise.• TCAs (nortriptylene; amitriptyline)• Gabapentin (Neurontin)
• Zolpidem (Ambien)
• SSRIs

Boosting Serotonin Levels
• SSRIs– Start early– Escalate doses, as tolerated
• “Yes… this is an ‘anti-depressant’.” “No… I don’t think you’re depressed.”“I am giving this to you as an adjunct…”
