Abstract

Objective: To describe the treatment outcomes of patients with upper limb enthesitis using a combination of electroacupuncture and therapeutic ultrasound at Hai Phong University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital during 2024 – 2025. Subjects and methods: Case series descriptive study. Results: The mean VAS (Visual Analog Scale) score decreased from 4.40 ± 1.60 to 1.67 ± 1.33. Ultrasound imaging showed reduced inflammation and fluid accumulation, with fluid volume decreasing from 2.83 ± 2.16 mm to 0.87 ± 0.56 mm. There was significant improvement in joint range of motion. Daily functional ability improved, with 53.33% of patients reaching a “good” level. Overall treatment outcomes were rated as good in 36.67% of cases, fair in 50.00%, and average in 13.33%. Conclusion: The combination of electroacupuncture and therapeutic ultrasound appears to be a relatively effective and safe treatment for upper limb enthesitis.
