Summary

This study aims to find new ways to measure myofascial pain using advanced imaging techniques like MRI. Researchers will compare 52 participants—some with chronic muscle pain and some healthy—to identify biological markers that could help diagnose and understand this condition better. The goal is to improve how we detect and assess myofascial pain, not to test a treatment.
