Local pain syndromes
Keywords:
local pain syndromes, treatmentAbstract
Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue can be found in the regularly updated manual for the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Pain is general symptom of soft-tissue disorders. Classification of localized musculoskeletal pain syndromes can be developed based on the site, primary symptoms, clinical findings, intensity of pain.
The etiology of soft-tissue disorders include intrinsic or extrinsic factors, or both, which may result in inflammations, degeneration, tear or rupture. Soft tissue conditions themselves consist of disorders of tendon, ligament, bursa, joint capsule, fascia, fibrocartilage. Most important in local pain syndromes is shoulder complaint. Shoulder pain has a point prevalence of 7-21% of adults in the community and the second most common musculoskeletal complaint presenting to primary care, with only back pain presenting more frequently. Many shoulder complaints are multifactorial in origin and articular and extra-articular disorders can coexist. The examination and management is need for exact treatment of local pain syndromes.
