Вплив стресу на стан м’язової системи пацієнтів з ушкодженнями опорно-рухового апарату

Abstract

The article examines the impact of stress and psychological disorders in the context of military actions in Ukraine on the human muscular system, as well as their effect on the physical condition of patients with injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It also explores how stress and psychological disorders in wartime conditions contribute to the spread of pathological pain sensations and the occurrence of muscle spasms. A brief historical overview is provided, and scientific publications on the use of various methods in treating different pathologies, including pain syndromes caused by musculoskeletal muscle spasms, are analyzed. The article discusses types of somatic muscle spasms and pain syndromes, as well as mechanisms of local physiological influences and methods of psychological correction for conditions that cause pain and spasms in muscles, fascia, and joints. The positive impact of physiological procedures combined with psychological correction on pain associated with stressful situations and psychological disorders in people who have experienced moral humiliation and physical abuse during wartime and occupation is demonstrated. Various manifestations of stress and their effects on the functioning of muscles, fascia, and joints in individuals who are currently experiencing or have experienced military actions are described. Additionally, the article examines how psychological disorders resulting from military actions in Ukraine affect patients with musculoskeletal injuries. Methods proposed by modern rehabilitation therapy to alleviate and improve the condition of such patients are presented. These methods, such as various types of massage, heat treatments, taping, and psychological correction, are considered techniques for relieving pain that can be used both simultaneously and sequentially, without causing negative side effects during therapy and requiring minimal effort. It is established that the consequences of chronic stress and prolonged experiences of anxiety, nervousness, and panic attacks cause significant harm to the health of adults and children. The accumulated stress over the long period of war causes varying degrees of harm to each individual, with chronic forms of internal organ diseases and inflammatory processes becoming more pronounced. However, the primary target of chronic stress is the muscles. Only a comprehensive approach to this problem is an important factor in overcoming the consequences.
