This is the first issue of this review column since the passing of Dr. Leon Chaitow. We would like to take a brief moment to acknowledge how much his mentorship, friendship, and confidence have meant to us. Leon was a force in osteopathic and naturopathic medicine and his influence reaches to all corners of the musculoskeletal realm crossing over many disciplines through his lectures, workshops, and of course, his many books, editorials, and articles. In the foreword to one of his books, Jan Dommerholt wrote that "Leon Chaitow […] continued the work of Travell and Simons, but also of many others, whose contributions he has skillfully woven into an intricate tapestry of clinical pearls, practical tips, and solid evidence-informed research." Dr. Chaitow was a synthesizer, who always considered what different clinicians and researchers could possibly contribute to a better understanding of pain and dysfunction and provide real solutions to real problems. Even when he would not necessarily agree with all suggested remedies, he maintained an open mind and was able to take a step back and consider the bigger picture. For example, Leon was not a big fan of dry needling, yet, he valued the importance of this approach and encouraged the inclusion of dry needling papers in this review article and in his journal. The Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies became his baby and, considering the growth of the journal, there is no question that Leon's intense focus and efforts are appreciated by many around the globe. We wish to extend our condolences to Leon's wife Alkmini and daughter Sasha. He will surely be missed, but we can find peace in knowing that his legacy will stay with us forever. In this issue, we have included several basic myofascial pain research articles. As usual, dry needling (DN) studies and case reports are the most commonly referenced papers, but we also included neuroscience and electromyography studies, sleep studies, interrater reliability studies, and case reports of adverse events.
这是自利昂·柴托博士去世后的第一期本评论专栏。我们想花片刻时间来感谢他的指导、友谊和信任对我们而言意义重大。利昂在整骨医学和自然疗法领域是一股强大的力量，他的影响力通过他的讲座、研讨会，当然还有他的众多书籍、社论和文章，延伸到肌肉骨骼领域的各个角落，跨越了许多学科。扬·多默霍尔特在他一本书的前言中写道：“利昂·柴托……延续了特拉维尔和西蒙斯的工作，也延续了许多其他人的工作，他巧妙地将他们的贡献编织成一幅错综复杂的临床精华、实用技巧和坚实的循证研究的挂毯。”柴托博士是一位综合者，他总是思考不同的临床医生和研究人员可能对更好地理解疼痛和功能障碍做出什么贡献，并为实际问题提供切实可行的解决方案。即使他不一定同意所有建议的治疗方法，他也保持开放的心态，能够退一步考虑大局。例如，利昂不太喜欢干针疗法，但他重视这种方法的重要性，并鼓励在这篇综述文章和他的期刊中收录干针疗法的论文。《身体疗法与运动疗法杂志》成了他的心血结晶，考虑到该期刊的发展，毫无疑问，利昂的专注和努力受到了全球许多人的赞赏。我们向利昂的妻子阿尔克米妮和女儿萨沙表示哀悼。他一定会被怀念，但我们可以欣慰地知道他的遗产将永远与我们同在。在本期中我们收录了几篇基础肌筋膜疼痛研究文章。像往常一样，干针疗法（DN）研究和病例报告是最常被引用的论文，但我们也收录了神经科学和肌电图研究、睡眠研究、评分者间信度研究以及不良事件病例报告。
