Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between symptomatic functional status and quality of life of patients with low back myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Methods: From July 2021 to June 2022, 106 patients with low back myofascial pain syndrome in the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University were selected as the research subjects. A total of 106 MPS patients were investigated with general information questionnaire, Memory Symptom Assessment Scale (MSAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Short Form Questionnaire (SF-36). The relationship between quality of life and symptom distress and dysfunction was observed and analyzed based on symptom distress and dysfunction scores, SF-36 scores, and so on. Results: The total score of MSAS was 1.79 ± 0.91. The overall symptom distress of the patients was moderate. The ODI score was 18.46 ± 5.95. The functional disability of the patients was classified as moderately impaired. The MSAS-PHYS, MSAS-PSYCH, MSAS-GDI three scale scores were 2.14 ± 0.75, 1.69 ± 0.88, 1.55 ± 0.46, respectively, and the variability of the three scales is relatively large; the dimension scores were significantly lower than those of the conventional scoring models, and P < 0.05, indicating a statistical difference; the scores of each dimension of the patient’s quality of life were compared with the scores of symptom distress and functional status. The higher the symptom distress score, the lower the quality of life, with P < 0.05, indicating a statistical difference; the higher the score of each dimension of functional status, the better the quality of life, showing a positive correlation, and P < 0.05, indicating a statistical difference. Conclusion: MPS patients face a number of physical and psychological symptoms, and their functional status is limited. Nursing staff should implement health education and intervention measures according to the actual situation of the patients, so as to improve the quality of their lives.
