Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a regional pain disorder caused by taut bands
of muscle fibers in skeletal muscles called myofascial trigger points. MPS is a
common disorder, often diagnosed and treated by physiatrists. Treatment
strategies for MPS include exercises, patient education, and trigger point
injection. Pharmacologic interventions are also common, and a variety of
analgesics, antiinflammatories, antidepressants, and other medications are used
in clinical practice. This review explores the various treatment options for MPS,
including those therapies that target myofascial trigger points and common
secondary symptoms.
