Abstract:

Objective

To observe the clinical effect of extracorporeal shock wave plus electroacupuncture (EA) on myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and to investigate its treatment mechanism.

Methods

Ninety cases who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into an EA group, an extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) group and a combined therapy group, 30 in each group. EA was employed in the EA group, extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the ESWT group and EA plus extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the combined therapy group. The VAS, tenderness threshold and therapeutic efficacy were evaluated after three months of treatment.

Results

After 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months of treatment, the VAS scores in all three groups were significantly reduced and the tenderness threshold significantly elevated. The recovery rate and total effective rate were 23.3% and 83.3% respectively in the EA group, versus 40.0% and 90.0% in the ESWT group and 63.3% and 96.7% in the combined therapy group, showing statistical differences (P<0.05).

Conclusion

EA combined with EWST works remarkably well for MPS.
