Introduction. Musculoskeletal pain is a common condition that affects individuals of all ages and backgrounds. In rehabilitation medicine, clinical and functional assessment features play a crucial role in identifying the underlying causes of musculoskeletal pain and determining appropriate treatment plans. Methods. The study included 50 patients with musculoskeletal pain who were referred to the neuro- rehabilitation department. All patients underwent a comprehensive clinical evaluation, including a medical history, physical and functional examination, using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Nordic questionnaire. Results. The results of the study showed that the majority of patients (80%) reported moderate to severe pain intensity on the VAS scale, with a mean score of 6.8 out of 10. The most commonly reported sites of pain were the lower back (40%), followed by the knee (22%) and shoulder (18%). The Nordic questionnaire revealed that the majority of patients (70%) reported moderate to severe disability. The most commonly reported functional limitations were related to lifting and carrying heavy objects, walking, and standing for prolonged periods. Patients received a combination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxants, physical and kinetotherapy wich have improve the patient's pain syndrome (a mean score of 3.8 out of 10) and the clinical and functional outcomes. Conclusion. These assessments of musculoskeletal pain throw these 2 methods help to evaluate the patient's functional abilities, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. With proper evaluation and management, patients with musculoskeletal pain can recover their function and regain their quality of life.
