MYOFASCIAL PAIN MANAGEMENT IN ONCOLOGY PATIENTS
Abstract
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common musculoskeletal condition frequently observed in can-cer patients and significantly reduces quality of life. Studies indicate that approximately half of cancer patients experience MPS. This high rate necessitates the development of effective pain management strategies. However, the literature contains limited data on the treatment of MPS in cancer patients. In addition, there are no widely accepted guidelines or algorithms for the diagnosis and treatment of MPS in the oncology population.
