Abstract
Objective: Evaluation of the analgesic effect of auricular electrical stimulation combined with acupressure massage on patients with cervical scapulohumeral syndrome. Subjects: 60 patients were diagnosed with cervical scapulohumeral syndrome, divided into study group and control group, treated at the National Hospital Of Acupuncture from September 2022 to June 2023. Research method: controlled clinical intervention, comparison before and after treatment. Results: After 20 days of treatment, the mean VAS score of the study group decreased from 5.37 ± 1.47 to 2.13 ± 1.69 points (p < 0.05). The proportion of patiens with no pain and mild pain increased from 0% and 10% to 33.3% and 56.7%.
