Abstract
This commentary presents commonalities in medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) across multiple organ systems, including symptoms, aetiological mechanisms, comorbidity with mental health disorders, symptom burden and impact on quality of life. Further, treatment outcomes and barriers in the clinician⁻patient relationship, and cross-cultural experiences are highlighted. This discussion is necessary in aiding an improved understanding and management of MUS due to the interconnectedness underlying MUS presentations across the spectrum of medical specialties.
摘要
本述评呈现了多个器官系统中未明医学原因症状（MUS）的共同特征，包括症状、病因机制、与精神健康障碍共病、症状负担和对生活质量的影响。此外，还强调了临床医生-患者关系中的治疗结果和障碍，以及跨文化体验。由于在医学专业范围内 MUS 表现出的相互关联，这种讨论对于帮助更好地理解和管理 MUS 是必要的。
