Ultrasound-Guided External Trigger Point Injections for Female Patients With Myofascial Pelvic Pain: A Report of Two Cases.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Trigger point injections (TPIs) are used to relieve myofascial pain via injection with local anesthetics. External TPIs are commonly used to treat surface muscle groups such as the trapezius, while internal transvaginal or external pelvic TPIs may be used for pelvic pain in female patients. This case series discusses two female patients with histories of myofascial pelvic pain due to high-tone pelvic floor disorder (HTPFD) who received ultrasound-guided external TPIs for pain relief. Patient 1 had previously received internal TPIs with no relief, while Patient 2 had previously tried botulinum toxin injections and a pudendal nerve block with some relief. In both cases, ultrasound-guided external TPIs provided pain relief for a period of time and were repeated. This case highlights the importance of ultrasound-guided external TPIs as part of the arsenal of treatment options for pelvic floor dysfunction treatment.
