THE PROBLEM OF MYOFACIAL PAIN SYNDROME IN MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY

Abstract

Many people continue to suffer from myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS), defined as a regional pain syndrome that is clinically characterized by muscle pain caused by myofascial triggers (MFTP). In tight bandages, muscle spasm and blockage of blood circulation can be seen [1-3]. In the MPTr region, nociceptors can be sensitized by peripheral inflammatory factors and fascial contracture can also be induced. Traditional treatments for MPS include stretching therapy, thermal therapy, electrical stimulation, massage, manipulation, trigger point injections, acupuncture, and medicine. However, the pain syndrome cannot be stopped even with the help of several therapies. Recently, kinesio taping (KnTp) has been widely used for sports injuries, postoperative complications, and various pain problems, but little research has been done on MFBS with the KnTp method. In this article, we review research on the use of CT in the treatment of MPS and other related problems. It appears that application of KNTP can elevate the subcutaneous space and then increase blood circulation and lymphatic fluid outflow to reduce chemical factors around the MPTr area. Thus, it is suggested that CT may be used as a routine treatment or added to previous treatment for myofascial pain
