Trigger points may be identified by the electrical signals they produce, but ultrasound may also be used to see these.\n\nTrigger points are characterized as either latent or active. Latent trigger points cause muscular dysfunction but do not actually hurt. Active trigger points hurt, and are painful for nearly everyone at some point in life.
