More than 100 million adults in the United States have chronic pain conditions, costing more than $500 billion annually in medical care and lost productivity. They are the most common reason for seeking health care, for disability and addiction, and the highest driver of health care costs. Myofascial pain is the most common condition causing chronic pain and can be diagnosed through identifying clinical characteristics and muscle palpation. Management is focused on integrating patient training in changing lifestyle risk factors with evidence-based treatment. Understanding the cause, diagnosis, and management of myopain conditions will help prevent the impact of chronic pain.
美国有超过1亿成年人患有慢性疼痛疾病，每年在医疗护理和生产力损失方面的花费超过5000亿美元。慢性疼痛是寻求医疗护理、导致残疾和成瘾的最常见原因，也是医疗费用的最高驱动因素。肌筋膜疼痛是导致慢性疼痛的最常见病症，可通过识别临床特征和肌肉触诊来诊断。治疗重点是将患者改变生活方式风险因素的培训与循证治疗相结合。了解肌痛病症的病因、诊断和治疗方法将有助于预防慢性疼痛的影响。
