Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of combined shock waves in the functional recovery of patients with shoulder tendinopathy treated at Phu Tho Provincial General Hospital in 2022 - 2023. Subjects and Methods: Prospective research method of clinical intervention with a control group for 64 patients with shoulder tendinopathy were treated at Phu Tho Provincial General Hospital. Patients were randomly selected into two groups: the intervention group and the control group from July 2022 to July 2023. Treatment lasted for 4 weeks, and shoulder function was assessed using the Constant-Murley score at admission and after 4 weeks of treatment. Results: Most patients with the shoulder tendinopathy in this study were over 60 years old (accounted for 70,3%) and were male (54.7%). After 4 weeks of treatment, there was an improvement in shoulder function in both the intervention and control groups, but the improvement was greater in the intervention group (treatment with shockwave therapy combined with physical therapy) than in the control group, including pain, daily activities, shoulder elevation, shoulder abduction, shoulder external rotation, shoulder internal rotation and shoulder joint force as well as the total shoulder joint score according to the Constant-Murley scale (p< 0,05). Conclusion: Treatment combining shock waves with physical therapy methods for the shoulder tendinopathy is effective shoulder joint function recovery.
