2. Delayed onset muscle soreness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness

   Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. The soreness is felt most strongly 24 to 72 hours after the exercise. [1][2]: 63 It is thought to be caused by eccentric (lengthening) exercise, which causes small-scale damage (microtrauma) to the muscle fibers.

3. Myofascial trigger point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofascial_trigger_point

   Myofascial pain is associated with muscle tenderness that arises from trigger points, focal points of tenderness, a few millimeters in diameter, found at multiple sites in a muscle and the fascia of muscle tissue. Biopsy tests found that trigger points were hyperirritable and electrically active muscle spindles in general muscle tissue.

4. Inclusion body myositis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion_body_myositis

   Inclusion body myositis (IBM) (/ maɪoʊˈsaɪtɪs /) (sometimes called sporadic inclusion body myositis, sIBM) is the most common inflammatory muscle disease in older adults. [2] The disease is characterized by slowly progressive weakness and wasting of both proximal muscles (located on or close to the torso) and distal muscles (close to hands ...

5. Muscle weakness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_weakness

   Muscle weakness. Muscle weakness is a lack of muscle strength. Its causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have either true or perceived muscle weakness. True muscle weakness is a primary symptom of a variety of skeletal muscle diseases, including muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathy. It occurs in neuromuscular junction ...

6. Myofascial pain syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofascial_pain_syndrome

   The cause is believed to be muscle tension or spasms within the affected musculature. [1] Diagnosis is based on the symptoms and possible sleep studies. [1] Treatment may include pain medication, physical therapy, mouth guards, and occasionally benzodiazepine. [1] It is a relatively common cause of temporomandibular pain. [1]

7. Acute muscle soreness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_muscle_soreness

   Acute muscle soreness. Acute muscle soreness (AMS) is the pain felt in muscles during and immediately, up to 24 hours, after strenuous physical exercise. The pain appears within a minute of contracting the muscle and it will disappear within two or three minutes or up to several hours after relaxing it. [1]

8. Exercise physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_physiology

   Physical exercise may cause pain both as an immediate effect that may result from stimulation of free nerve endings by low pH, as well as a delayed onset muscle soreness. The delayed soreness is fundamentally the result of ruptures within the muscle, although apparently not involving the rupture of whole muscle fibers. [83] Muscle pain can ...

9. RICE (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RICE_(medicine)

   RICE is a mnemonic acronym for the four elements of a treatment regimen that was once recommended for soft tissue injuries: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. [1] It was considered a first-aid treatment rather than a cure and aimed to control inflammation. [2] It was thought that the reduction in pain and swelling that occurred as a result ...
