I have only had relief from the injection of medication into the point. It
seems that acupressure is of little help. The injections are expensive,
but worth it to me. It is also painful. At times they inject into a nerve
center to attempt a nerve block. I do not seem to obtain much relief from
that method. Just a great deal of pain involved from the procedure.

Bill, I don't seem to get much relief from pressure on the
"trigger point", though other folks of our acquaintance do.
Once however when I had a bad sinus headache, my husband tried
pressing all the trigger points on my face which were supposed
to help and then finally pressed
one on the top of my head of all places and it helped! I think
that was referred pain or something...? Nerves must be strange
things...anyway, best wishes to you for pain relief! Donna
