What is a trigger?

National Headache Foundation: Headache FAQ
Certain physical or environmental factors, such as foods, hormonal changes, weather, and stress, can lead to or "trigger" a migraine. However, it's important to remember that triggers are different for everyone. That's why, to help prevent migraine attacks, you need to figure out which triggers affect you and which ones don't. Keeping a headache diary is an effective way to track triggers, and it will help you talk to your healthcare professional about your condition.

A trigger is an action placed on a table to automatically execute upon insert, delete, or update of a row of data in the table. A trigger executes a stored procedure. The stored procedure contains the commands to execute upon the trigger action. Does Oterro support timestamps? SQL Server does support timestamps, ORACLE does not and I presume Oterro does not in the manner in which they're used in SQL Server.

What is Trigger Point Therapy?

FAQ
The term Trigger Point was first utilized by Dr. Janet G.Travell M.D. to describe nodules in muscle tissue that "triggered" pain when physically manipulated. Along with Dr. David Simons M.D., Dr. Travell spent most of a lifetime researching and developing a field of manual medicine that she termed Myofascial Pain. Drs.Travell and Simons authored two medical textbooks on the subject titled "Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction : The Trigger Point Manual Vol.I and II" .

So what exactly is a trigger point?

FAQ
A trigger point is a small area of muscle that remains tightly contracted all the time, even if the muscle itself is at rest. It is found in the muscle belly, where the nerve that controls that muscle attaches to it. The trigger point is not actually a problem with the muscle itself, but rather is a problem with the structure that connects the nerve and the muscle. Physically, a trigger point feels like a knot about the size of a pea in the muscle.

What causes trigger points?

FAQ
Many factors can cause trigger points, but generally muscle overuse or overloading is the primary cause. Any activity or posture that requires a long, sustained contraction of a muscle can create trigger points in that muscle. In addition any posture or body position that puts a muscle in a shortened position for an extended period of time can cause trigger points to form and/or worsen. Mental stress and emotional exhaustion contribute greatly to trigger point activation.
Related Questions

Are there different types of trigger points?

FAQ
There are two basic types of trigger points, latent trigger points and active trigger points. Latent trigger points cause increased muscle tension, but don't produce pain unless they are physically compressed. Active trigger points are latent trigger points that have degraded due to muscle overuse or abuse, and are actively producing pain.

What are trigger locks?

Second Amendment Foundation Online
A trigger lock is the name that is given to any number of devices that "lock" the trigger in place, or otherwise prevent it from being pulled, and consequently discharging the firearm. In many cases, trigger locks can be a valuable safety tool, as they are designed to keep an unauthorized person from using your firearm. However, in cases of self-defense, if one has to unlock their trigger lock before being able to use their gun, they are liable to lose very valuable time.

What is a Trigger Point Injection?

FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) about Epidurals, Selectiv...
Trigger points are painful areas of muscle spasm. They can be treated with massage, muscle relaxant medications, meditation, and topical agents. If non-invasive treatments fail, the cycle of spasm causing damage which then causes more spasm and more damage can be broken with an injection. Typically, a local anaesthetic, like lidocaine, with or without a steroid, is injected into the knotted muscle. For the most difficult trigger points, Botox or Myobloc may be employed (see below).

Why is most trigger point pain "referred" to another region?

FAQ
This is still a bit of a mystery. Perhaps its best to examine the function of pain itself for an answer to that question. In general, pain is a message from the body to the brain that serves to protect an injured body part or tissue. For example, the pain from a cut on your foot serves to prevent you from walking on it and doing additional damage. Likewise, referred pain from a trigger point serves to prevent you from using the muscle that harbors the trigger point.

What is the best way to treat trigger points?

FAQ
There are many different methods for treating trigger points. Probably the easiest and one of the most effective is simple physical pressure applied to the trigger point itself. The drawback to this method is that it produces or increases the referred pain from the trigger point. If done gently and within a person's pain tolerance however, this method has one important benefit; it proves that this is indeed the source of the pain.

Rosacea.org: The National Rosacea Society
Although there are no data available on how quickly a rosacea trigger may lead to a flare-up, the time is likely to vary depending on the individual and the nature of the trigger. Try monitoring your individual case to see how quickly your rosacea has responded.

What's with the magnetic trigger?

Airgun Designs - America's Premier Paintball Guns - FAQ Page
There are two "magnetic" features to the trigger. First, a magnet in the trigger is used with a magnetic sensor in the grip frame (Hall Effect Sensor) to trigger the gun. We did this because the sensor can be switched out to have more or less hysteresis which is the distance between on and off. This is what ultimately defines the length of your trigger pull. With a Hall sensor that can be anything down to zero, a feature not found in any mechanical switch.

Trigger points are areas of hypersensitivity and are ischemic, meaning they have reduced blood flow. By applying pressure to a trigger point, we push out old metabolic waste and allow fresh blood and oxygen to permeate the muscle. This is like squeezing a saturated sponge so the sponge can have room to pick up more fluid.
