Abstract
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is defined as a set of motor, sensitive, and autonomic signs and symptoms secondary to the presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). A clear influence of psychological factors has been associated with MPS and active MTrPs presence. Personality traits, especially higher neuroticism, and greater symptoms and levels of anxiety and depression, fear of motion and pain fear-avoidance, catastrophism, and central sensitization may be associated with the presence of MPS. Thus, psychological approaches should be combined with multimodal interventions to improve the impairment secondary to psychological factors in patients who suffer from MPS.
