Study Summary

Patients with chronic abdominal pain- with a component of abdominal wall pain- are often treated with trigger point injections.

Primary Outcome

Pain intensity will be assessed using the 11-point Numerical Pain Score questionnaire where "0" denotes no pain and "10" signifies the most intense pain imaginable.
