<div>Illustration of frequency-specific interregional main coupling directions (mCD) (resting state, NMTrP state, and MTrP state) among the six brain regions in frequency intervals III (a), IV (b), and V (c), respectively. MTrP: myofascial trigger point; NMTrP: nonmyofascial trigger point; L: left; R: right; PFC: prefrontal cortex; MC: motor cortex; OL: occipital lobe.</div>
