Clinical Study On The Treatment Of Rotator Cuff Injury Through Tendons Massage

Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical effectiveness of tendon massage in treating rotator cuff injuries and compare it with conventional acupuncture.We will utilize the visual analogue scale(VAS),the Constant-Murley score(CMS),and traditional Chinese medicine clinical efficacy indicators as observation criteria to evaluate the effectiveness and differences between the two treatment methods.By conducting this study,we aim to not only explore the mechanism of action of tendon massage for rotator cuff injury but also offer novel insights into the treatment plan for this condition.method:This study recruited 72 eligible patients from the outpatient departments of the Tuina Department of Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Sports Rehabilitation Department of Yunnan Provincial Sports Hospital from January 2022 to December 2022.Random number table was employed for random grouping,and the patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group.The control group received conventional acupuncture treatment,whereas the experimental group received tendon massage treatment,and both groups underwent a2-week treatment course.The collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS26.0 software to compare the VAS score,CMS score,and symptomatic efficacy before and after treatment in the two groups result:1.VAS score: A comparison of the VAS scores before and after treatment was conducted within each group.The results indicated statistically significant differences(P<0.05)for both groups,suggesting that the treatment was effective.Furthermore,a comparison of the differences in VAS scores before and after treatment between the two groups was carried out,and the results showed statistically significant differences(P<0.05),implying that conventional acupuncture was more effective in relieving pain.2.CMS score: Both groups of patients showed a significant improvement in the CMS scores before and after treatment,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05)observed between the groups,suggesting an improvement in both groups.After treatment,the experimental group demonstrated statistically significant differences(P<0.05)in the CMS score,ROM score,and ADL score compared to the control group,with a better performance in the experimental group.Nevertheless,there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05)in the muscle strength score between the two groups after treatment.3.Chinese medicine symptom efficacy score: After treatment,the improvement of shoulder symptoms in both groups of patients was analyzed.In the control group: 1case(3.125%)was cured,12 cases(37.50%)were markedly effective,16 cases(50.00%)were improved,and 3 cases(9.375%)were ineffective,with a total effective rate of 29 cases(90.625%).In the experimental group: 3 cases(9.375%)were cured,18 cases(56.25%)were markedly effective,10 cases(31.25%)were effective,and the total effective rate was 31 cases(96.875%).The total effective rate between the two groups was compared,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05),and the experimental group was superior to the control group.4.Comparison of distribution and frequency of myofascial trigger points: Among the 64 patients in this study,before treatment,myofascial trigger points were mainly concentrated in the Hand Yangming Meridian,accounting for as high as 54%,and after treatment,it was still 49%,which was much higher than other meridians.Conclusion:The results of this study showed that both methods were effective in the treatment of rotator cuff injury.Among them,the tendons massage is better in improving the range of motion of the shoulder joint,the ability of daily living activities and the overall efficacy,while the ordinary acupuncture is better in relieving pain.myofascial trigger points mainly belongs to the hand Yangming meridian tendon.In the treatment process,we should also focus on the meridian tendon and its tracking position.In addition,in terms of safety,there is no adverse reaction to the tendons massage,and the acceptance of patients is higher.
