Myofacial pain dysfunction (MPD), a commonly occurring illness, presents with a variety of clinical appearances and patient symptoms which mimic many other illnesses. The family physician and medical specialist are often first consulted by patients suffering from the pain and/or limited functions associated with MPD. Although the definitive diagnosis and therapy is usually provided by a dental specialist, the attending physician is often required to make the initial clinical diagnosis of MPD and then select proper referrals and consultations. Physicians with an understanding of the cause and clinical picture of MPD can, by obtaining a comprehensive history and performing a concise clinical examination, make a diagnosis of MPD. A description of the nature of the illness and a clinical examination procedure are presented.
肌筋膜疼痛功能障碍（MPD）是一种常见疾病，具有多种临床表现和患者症状，这些表现和症状与许多其他疾病相似。患有与MPD相关疼痛和/或功能受限的患者通常首先会咨询家庭医生和医学专家。虽然最终诊断和治疗通常由牙科专家提供，但主治医师通常需要对MPD进行初步临床诊断，然后选择合适的转诊和会诊。了解MPD病因和临床表现的医生，通过获取全面病史并进行简要临床检查，即可做出MPD的诊断。本文介绍了该疾病的性质及临床检查程序。
