9. Prognosis
Myofascial pain syndrome is a highly individualized condition. Each patient will have a different response to treatment and timeline for recovery.
In some cases, treating the root cause of muscle strain and tension may eliminate the pain, while for other patients it could linger long after the initial cause is addressed. Periodic pain flare-ups may also reoccur even after daily pain is relieved.
