Complementary medical therapies are commonly used for the treatment and management of myofascial pain. No universally accepted therapy for this condition exists; consequently, patients often seek alternative and complementary therapies. Many complementary treatments are available.This article focuses on acupuncture, biofeedback, ultrasound, lasers, and massage. Although anecdotally claimed as effective, most of these modalities have not been rigorously investigated because of poor research quality. Appropriate controls, sample sizes, and blinding measures are often lacking. Despite these issues, the trend toward efficacy exists and further examination is warranted.
辅助医学疗法常用于治疗和管理肌筋膜疼痛。目前尚无针对这种情况的普遍接受的疗法；因此，患者经常寻求替代和辅助疗法。有许多辅助治疗方法可供选择。本文重点介绍针灸、生物反馈、超声、激光和按摩。尽管有传闻称这些方法有效，但由于研究质量差，大多数这些方法尚未得到严格研究。通常缺乏适当的对照、样本量和盲法措施。尽管存在这些问题，但疗效的趋势是存在的，值得进一步研究。
