Diagnostik bei Myalgien

Zusammenfassung

Lokalisierte oder generalisierte Schmerzen der Skelettmuskulatur sind häufige Leit- oder Begleitsymptome von Erkrankungen aus verschiedenen medizinischen Fachdisziplinen. Die ätiologische Abklärung von Myalgien erfolgt anhand des Beschwerdebildes, des klinischen Untersuchungsbefundes und gegebenenfalls weiterführender Untersuchungen. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt alle derzeitigen diagnostischen Möglichkeiten vor sowie einen Algorithmus für die zielgerichtete Diagnostik bei Myalgien.

Summary

Localized or generalized muscle pain is a common symptom associated with a variety of neurological and other diseases. The etiologic differentiation of myalgias is based on history and clinical findings and may include further diagnostic investigations. Here we present current diagnostic possibilities including an algorithm for an efficient approach to the diagnosis of myalgias.
