Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is defined as pain that originates from myofascial trigger points in skeletal muscle. It is prevalent in regional musculoskeletal pain syndromes, either alone or in combination with other pain generators. The appropriate evaluation and management of myofascial pain is an important part of musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and regional axial and limb pain syndromes. This article reviews the current hypotheses regarding the treatment modalities for myofascial trigger points and muscle pain. Through a critical evidence-based review of the pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments, the authors aim to provide clinicians with a more comprehensive knowledge of the interventions for myofascial pain.
肌筋膜疼痛综合征(MPS)定义为源自骨骼肌肌筋膜触发点的疼痛。它在区域性肌肉骨骼疼痛综合征中很常见,无论是单独存在还是与其他疼痛源结合存在。对肌筋膜疼痛的适当评估和管理是肌肉骨骼康复以及区域性轴向和肢体疼痛综合征的重要组成部分。本文综述了目前关于肌筋膜触发点和肌肉疼痛治疗方式的假说。通过对药物和非药物治疗的循证批判性综述,作者旨在为临床医生提供更全面的肌筋膜疼痛干预措施知识。
