Abstract


Objective: To evaluate the effect of radial extracorporeal shock wave and compound ultrasonic treatment in patients with frozen shoulder. To evaluate the effect of Radial Extracoporeal Shock Wave Therapy (RESWT) and com- pound ultrasonic therapy in frozen shoulder patients. Methods: 68 patients with frozen shoulder treated in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were divided into two groups according to the random number table method. 30 patients in the control group and 30 patients in the observation group were given compound ultrasonic treatment in the control group and radial extracorporeal shock wave treatment in the observation group. The VAS pain score, average temperature difference, ROM score and incidence of adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. Results: The VAS pain scores (3.12 ± 1.23) and (2.20 ± 1.55) in the observation group at the end of treatment and 8 weeks after treat- ment were lower than those (5.82 ± 1.56) and (4.26 ± 1.59) in the control group (P < 0.05). The average temperature difference at the end of treatment and 8 weeks after treatment in the observation group (0.25 ± 0.04) oC, (0.21 ± 0.06) oC was lower than that in the control group (0.79 ± 0.24) oC, (0.65 ± 0.52) oC, (P < 0.05). At the end of treatment and 8 weeks after treatment, the ROM scores of the observation group (28.63 ± 5.99) and (32.63 ± 9.85) were higher than those of the control group (25.12 ± 6.15) and (26.52 ± 7.51) (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the obser- vation group (0.00%) was lower than that in the control group (16.67%), (P < 0.05). Conclusions: In the treatment of frozen shoulder patients, radial extracorporeal shock wave with compound ultrasonic therapy can better relieve the pain of patients, reduce adverse reactions, and improve the range of motion of shoulder joint, which is of great value in the field of clinical rehabilitation.
