We provided an in-depth examination of MPS, identifying sex, duration of symptoms, and cervical LOM as significant predictive factors in its diagnosis. The study emphasizes the critical role of these variables in the accurate diagnosis of MPS, while delineating the comparatively minimal diagnostic value of other factors such as age, type of occupation, presence of nodules or taut bands, and variations in fascial displacement. This study underscores the imperative for further scholarly inquiry into the role of fascial involvement in musculoskeletal disorders, with the objective of enhancing both the theoretical understanding and diagnostic practices in this medical domain.
