Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a topical nitroglycerine patch applied daily over a trapezius trigger point can improve patients' symptoms.

If there is improvement, this open label study will help determine the degree of improvement and contribute to the design of a larger double blind placebo controlled trial.

We would consider moving forward to a large randomized trial if:

- The intervention is acceptable to patients (>= 70%) and

- Compliance is satisfactory (>=80%) and

- We find preliminary evidence of efficacy, i.e. average reduction in pain of 20mm on the VAS.
