A Patient with Myofascial Pain Syndrome Treated with Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Abstract

This case report presents a 45-year-old male patient with persistent myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in the left shoulder and upper back regions. The patient underwent a multimodal treatment approach within the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR), including manual therapy, trigger point injections, and an exercise program. Over the course of 8 weeks, the patient reported significant pain reduction and improvement in functional abilities. This case report highlights the effectiveness of PMR interventions in the management of MPS and provides evidence for the use of a multimodal approach in improving pain and function in patients with persistent MPS.
