aspartic acid and Myofascial Pain Syndromes

aspartic acid has been researched along with Myofascial Pain Syndromes in 2 studies

Aspartic Acid: One of the non-essential amino acids commonly occurring in the L-form. It is found in animals and plants, especially in sugar cane and sugar beets. It may be a neurotransmitter.
aspartic acid : An alpha-amino acid that consists of succinic acid bearing a single alpha-amino substituent
L-aspartic acid : The L-enantiomer of aspartic acid.

Myofascial Pain Syndromes: Muscular pain in numerous body regions that can be reproduced by pressure on TRIGGER POINTS, localized hardenings in skeletal muscle tissue. Pain is referred to a location distant from the trigger points. A prime example is the TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DYSFUNCTION SYNDROME.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In order to determine if behavioral hyperalgesia and glutamate receptor involvement are associated with increased concentrations of excitatory amino acids (EAA), we utilized microdialysis to evaluate extracellular glutamate and aspartate concentrations in the spinal dorsal horn during the first and second intramuscular acid injections, and 1 week after the development of mechanical hyperalgesia."1.33Excitatory amino acid concentrations increase in the spinal cord dorsal horn after repeated intramuscular injection of acidic saline.
