The most common MUS are back pain, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, and dizziness. This book addresses the obstacles of managing people with MUS in our modern day society from both a historical and contemporary perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost MUS are psychosomatic in origin, caused by a complex interaction between nature and nurture, between biological and psychosocial factors.
