Many diseases may cause chest pain including the visceral, muscleskeletal and neuropatic conditions. Visceral diseases are important causes of acute chest pain but neurophatic and muscleskeletal abnormalities are common causes of chronic
chest pain. This means that the investigation of chest pain patients should also involve the exam of the neurologic and muscleskeletal systems. The treatment of muscleskeletal pains is based in the prescription analgesic, drugs, physical medicine and psychoterapy. Anaesthetic blocks and neurosurgical interventions seldom are necessary for control of thoracic pains.
