| Core Tip |
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) refers to a type of chronic pain syndrome that recurs in muscles, fascias, or related soft tissues, and can be accompanied by obvious emotional disorders or dysfunctions. At present, domestic and foreign scholars have not reached consensus on the etiology and pathogenesis of MPS. Due to the lack of specific laboratory indicators and imaging evidence, there is no unified diagnostic criteria for MPS, making it easily to be confused with other diseases. The consensus is intended to normalize the diagnosis and treatment of MPS and be used by first-line doctors to manage patients with MPS. |
