The use of local tropisetron injections improved the treatment of tendinopathies considerably, with the effect being comparable to the topical application of local anaesthetics combined with depot corticosteroids. On the other hand, local injection of prilocaine alone exerted a shorter and weaker effect on the condition. Objectives: After it had been proven that systemic application of the 5‐HT3 receptor antagonist tropisetron exerts an analgesic effect on musculoskeletal pain in fibromyalgia…

Effect of Local Anesthetic Versus Botulinum Toxin-A Injections for Myofascial Pain Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TLDR
The qualitative analysis suggested that local anesthetics and BTX-A were inconsistently effective at mitigating pain across all follow-up periods, but the quantitative results suggest that patients overall experience more pain relief with local anesthetic injections.
Repeated tender point injections of granisetron alleviate chronic myofascial pain - a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial
TLDR
Repeated intramuscular tender-point injections of the 5-HT3-antagonist granisetron provide a new pharmacological treatment possibility for myofascial pain patients with repeated intramurial tender- point injections with the serotonin type 3 antagonist granISetron.
A review of treatment approaches of Myofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome
TLDR
The researchers intended to collect comprehensive information about therapeutic interventions for myofascial pain through the conduction of a critical study based on evidence in the literature, and found thiocolchicoside (TCC), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and Cox-2 inhibitors are among promising pharmaceutical methods.

TLDR
There is growing evidence that trigger point injections and dry needling, as well as stretching exercises, are effective alternatives in the management of MPS.
The 5-HT 3 blocker granisetron reduces muscle pain induced by hypertonic saline
TLDR
Grisetron clearly lowers the pain induced by hypertonic saline in healthy female subjects and the pain response tenders to be shorter after injection of granisetron.
A new insight into the management of myofascial pain syndrome
TLDR
There is growing evidence that trigger point injections and dry needling, as well as stretching exercises, are effective alternatives in the management of MPS.

TLDR
Manual trigger point releases, and needling the trigger point, without or with local anesthetic, and use of lowlevel laser are effective ways of inactivating trigger points and reducing pain.
Spinal 5-HT3 receptor mediates nociceptive effect on central neuropathic pain; possible therapeutic role for tropisetron
TLDR
Blockade of 5-HT-3 receptors by tropisetron at the spinal level induces an antinociceptive effect on chronic central neuropathic pain and suggests that this compound may have potential clinical utility for the management of central neuropathy pain, particularly in patients with hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia.

TLDR
Local injection of tropisetron seems to be as safe and as effective as the combination of corticosteroids and local anesthetics in the treatment of painful tendinopathies.

TLDR
The majority of patients with localized soft-tissue rheumatic diseases (periarthritis) demonstrated an obvious decrease in their pain following local infiltration of tropisetron, which might imply that 5-HT3 receptor antagonists could supplement or replace the local administration of corticosteroids.
The Use of the 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonist Tropisetron in Trigger Point Therapy: A Pilot Study
TLDR
Trigger point injection with the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist tropisetron reduces pain in myofascial pain syndromes and can be attributed to the substance's analgesic effect, and moreover, probably also to its anti-inflammatory action.

Abstract. A comparison between a local anesthetic drug and the 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist tropisetron in treating tendopathies or periarthropathies revealed that tropisetron…

TLDR
The efficacy of short-term treatment with 5 mg tropisetron once daily in primary fibromyalgia was well tolerated and prolonged clinical benefits were seen, in keeping with the known safety profile for 5-HT3 receptor antagonists.

The 5-HT3 Subtype of Serotonin Receptor Contributes to Nociceptive Processing via a Novel Subset of Myelinated and Unmyelinated Nociceptors
TLDR
It is concluded that activation of both peripheral and central 5-HT3 receptors is pronociceptive and that the contribution of peripheral 5- HT3 receptors involves a novel complement of primary afferent nociceptors.

TLDR
It is concluded that the OND pretreatment may be used to reduce the incidence of pain on injection of propofol and to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting.
