Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of electroacupuncture combined with acupressure and rehabilitation in the treatment of periarthritis humeroscapularis.
Subjects and methods: The study included 70 patients diagnosed with primary periarthritis humeroscapularis. This was a prospective, clinical interventional study with a controlled pre-and post-treatment comparison. The research was conducted at Da Nang City Rehabilitation Hospital from January 2023 to August 2023.
Results: After 14 days of treatment, 42.9% of patients in the study group were pain-free, while 40% of patients in the control group were pain-free (p<0.05). The average Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score in both groups showed similar reductions before and after treatment (p>0.05). There was a significant improvement in the shoulder joint range of motion in both groups after treatment. Regarding functional improvement, the average Constant-Murley score for shoulder function significantly increased in both groups (p>0.05).

Conclusion: The electroacupuncture method, following the study’s acupuncture point protocol, combined with acupressure and rehabilitation exercises, is effective in improving symptoms of periarthritis humeroscapularis.
