The anatomic, clinical, and physiologic correspondences of
myofascial trigger points and classical acupuncture points

Conclusions
The 255 "most common" trigger points illustrated in the 1 edition of the Trigger Point Manual are fundamentally similar to classical acupuncture points anatomically, clinically (pain and non-pain indications), and physiologically (myofascial referred-pain to primary channel distributions). These mTrPs' referred-pain distributions can even be utilized to reproduce the distributions of the primary channels, thus serving to validate channel theory.
These multiple correspondences of these trigger and acupuncture points strongly evidence that they are likely describing the same clinical phenomenon, as Melzack et al. had suggested 45 years ago, and are probably united by common underlying neurologic mechanisms. These 255
"most common" trigger points illustrated in the 1% edition of the Trigger Point Manual can be then viewed as a partial contemporary rediscovery of the anatomic and clinical findings of the acupuncture tradition thousands of years before, though with differing "languages" and needling techniques.
Myofascial pain practitioners can benefit by the 2,000+ years of accumulated clinical experience and knowledge contained in the acupuncture tradition database. Conversely, acupuncturists can benefit by the clinical research, scientific techniques, and data outlined by the MPS database.
