Which term is associated with Myofascial Trigger Point?

• A. Inner Spinous Space
• B. AP
• C. Articular Process
• D. Myofascial Trigger Point

Answer: (D)

The concept here is recognizing terminology that directly names the phenomenon being asked about. A Myofascial Trigger Point is defined as a specific hyperirritable spot within a taut band of skeletal muscle that can cause local tenderness and possibly referred pain. The term that best fits this concept is the one that literally names the phenomenon itself—this is why it’s the correct choice.

The other options point to general spinal anatomy or radiographic terms that don’t describe trigger points or their clinical findings (for example, spaces or joints in the spine). They’re not the terms used to identify or name a trigger point in muscle tissue.
