Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of improving cervical spine syndrome by ultrasound therapy combined with electro-acupuncture and acupressure massage on patients with cervical scapulohumeral syndrome. Subjects and Methods: This study was designed as a controlled interventional clinical trial, comparing the before and after treatments. 60 patients diagnosed with the cervical scapulohumeral syndrome were divided into 2 groups: the study group was treated with ultrasound therapy combined with electro-acupuncture and massage; the control group was treated with electroacupuncture and massage. Results: After 15 days of treatment, the results showed that both groups recorded an improvement of VAS pain score, cervical spine’s range of motion and muscle tension level (p < 0.05), the study group improved better than the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The combination of the ultrasound therapy with electro-acupuncture and acupressure massage had good effects in the patients with cervical scapulohumeral syndrome.
