The duration and intensity of pain was noted and the Nottingham Health Profile [NHP] used to assess the HRQOL in both the groups.Results: Thirty-seven patients with MPS and 40 healthy normal control volunteers were included in this study. Except for social isolation score, the mean scores for all parameters of the NHP were higher in the MPS group, which means a worse HRQOL. There was a correlation between NHP pain score and number of trigger points.
