A Systematic Review on Interventions for Reducing Pain and Disability in Patients with Chronic Mechanical Shoulder Pain

Ekta Shah

Upper limb discomfort with a non-traumatic origin is often caused by musculoskeletal shoulder pain. Due to the intricacy of its aetiology, although being one of the most frequent grounds for consultation, there is no set regimen for therapy. The existence of myofascial trigger points on the shoulder muscles has been found to be a prevalent issue among those who have shoulder discomfort, though. Determining the optimal course of therapy may be difficult since persistent shoulder pain is a complex, severe condition with no obvious clinical description and symptoms that return frequently and last a long time. The high incidence of myofascial trigger points in the shoulder muscles has also been shown to be correlated with the presence of pain; as a result, patients who have these trigger points may benefit from a treatment approach that concentrates on treating the muscles.
