Chronic myofascial pain syndrome leads to the development of myofascial pain syndrome, corresponding neurological symptoms. Neck pain syndrome is the fourth most common cause of disability. It is well
known that the main factors in the mechanism of pain in the cervical spine, occipital area, upper extremities, dizziness, gait disturbances, paresthesia, and neurological symptoms are degenerative-dystrophic processes in the cervical spine and its complications, anomalies in the development of bone structure and musculoskeletal apparatus, post-traumatic manifestations, oncopathology, specific and nonspecific inflammatory processes. It is widely known that pain chronicity significantly disrupts people’s lives and health, affects medical health indicators, social and economic indicators of the living object and the country as a whole. The degree of muscle pain in clinical practice is mostly determined by palpation. Three degrees of pain are distinguished: I − oderate pain, without motor reactions (subjectively); II − pronounced pain, accompanied by the patient’s mimetic eaction; III − sharply pronounced pain, general motor reaction of the patient. Cooperation between specialists in biomedical engineering and doctors of various specialties is important. The goal of cooperation for each doctor with biomedical engineers is to maximize the objectivity of diagnostics, assessment of treatment methods, possibilities of disease prevention, rehabilitation, implementation of innovative techniques in medicine.
