[Chronic pain syndrome in diseases of periarticular tissues].

The search for an effective method of treating diseases of the musculoskeletal system is a rather actual problem for a practicing physician nowadays in connection with the modern lifestyle of most people. A prolonged stay in the same position, as a rule, leads to overstrain of the capsule-joint complexes, and, as a consequence, to the development of degenerative changes in the joints and periarticular tissues. These changes can manifest themselves clinically in the form of a chronic or acute pain syndrome.
