PHYSICAL INDICATORS OF THE PATIENT, BEFORE AND AFTER PHYSICAL REHABILITATION, USING THE PRQ QUESTIONNAIRE, IN PERSONS SUFFERING WITH CHRONIC MYOFACIAL SYNDROME

Abstract

Myofascial pain syndrome is considered one of the common reasons why a patient seeks help from a specialist. Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is characterized by the development of muscle dysfunction and the formation of myofascial trigger points within the painful muscle, which are secondary to long-term functional disorders. The main goal of this study is to analyze the physical indicators of patients over time, before and after kinetherapy or manual procedures and compare the indicators to see the effectiveness of these procedures. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that today, not much attention is paid to myofascial pain syndrome, which is why very often when a patient contacts a specialist, an incorrect diagnosis is made, which contributes to incorrect treatment. After the research, we were able to achieve our goals. The study showed good results. We were able to obtain mathematical data on the physical condition of patients, with the help of which we proved the effectiveness of the combination of kinetotherapy and manual therapy in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome.
