The objective of this article is to critically analyze a recent publication by Quinter, Bove and Cohen, published in Rheumatology, about myofascial pain syndrome and trigger points (Quintner et al., 2014). The authors concluded that the leading trigger point hypothesis is flawed in reasoning and in science. They claimed to have refuted the trigger point hypothesis. The current paper demonstrates that the Quintner et al. paper is a biased review of the literature replete with unsupported opinions and accusations. In summary, Quintner et al. have not presented any convincing evidence to believe that the Integrated TrP Hypothesis should be laid to rest.
本文的目的是批判性地分析昆特纳、博韦和科恩最近发表在《风湿病学》上的一篇关于肌筋膜疼痛综合征和触发点的文章（昆特纳等人，2014年）。作者得出结论，主要的触发点假说是推理和科学上存在缺陷的。他们声称已经驳斥了触发点假说。本文表明，昆特纳等人的论文是一篇有偏见的文献综述，充斥着无根据的观点和指控。总之，昆特纳等人没有提供任何令人信服的证据，让人相信整合触发点假说应该被搁置。
