Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Pain is source of disability worldwide. Understanding its origin and defining the best treatment are currently priorities for improving quality of life and decreasing disability. Musculoskeletal disorders encompass a wide range of conditions, affecting the fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other supporting structures of the body. These disorders pose significant challenges to patients and healthcare professionals alike, requiring a multidisciplinary approach for effective treatment and care. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and practitioners to explore the latest advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal pain and disorders.

We encourage you and your co-workers to submit your articles reporting on this topic.
