This edition of the companion volumes Muscle Pain: Understanding
the Mech- isms and Muscle Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment is
essential reading for those interested in clinical approaches to
acute and chronic pain conditions involving muscle tissues and in
the mechanisms underlying these conditions. The volumes cover a
very important topic in pain medicine, since muscle pain is very
common and can often be dif?cult to diagnose and treat effectively.
Furthermore, chronic pain involving muscle and other components of
the musculoskeletal system increases with age, such that it is a
common complaint of those of us who are middle-aged or older.
Indeed, as changing population demographics in "west- nized"
countries result in higher proportions of the population living
longer and being middle-aged and elderly, chronic muscle pain will
likely become even more of a health problem. In the case of acute
muscle pain, this can often be very intense, and in the short term
can limit or modify the use of components of the musculoskeletal
system associated with the sensitive muscle. Chronic muscle pain
can also be intense, as well as unpleasant and disabling, and it is
in many cases the over-riding symptom of most musculoskeletal
disorders that are associated with long-term deleterious changes in
musculoskeletal function.
