Abstract
El dolor es un fenómeno complejo y multifactorial que depende de la interacción de factores biopsicosociales. Entre el 15-25% de los adultos sufren dolor crónico en algún momento de su vida. A nivel cervical el dolor crónico es considerado un problema de salud pública y afectó a un 9,6% de hombres y a un 21,9% de mujeres según la última Encuesta Nacional de Salud. Un porcentaje muy elevado de consultas por dolor muscular en atención primaria resulta ser por síndrome de dolor miofascial. Su existencia implica la presencia de puntos gatillo miofasciales que pueden encontrarse latentes o activos en toda la población.

A very high percentage of consultations for muscular pain in primary care turns out to be due to myofascial pain syndrome. Their existence implies the presence of myofascial trigger points that may be latent or active throughout the population.
