Clinical Efficacy of Pulsed Radio Frequency Combined with Extracorporeal Shock Wave in the Treatment of Scapulohumeral Periarthritis
Objective To explore the clinical effect of pulsed radio frequency combined with extracorporeal shock wave in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis.Methods 100 patients with shoulder periarthritis treated in our hospital from February 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects.They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The control group received conventional drug treatment,while the observation group received a combination of pulsed radio frequency and extracorporeal shock wave intervention during conventional treatment.Compare the levels of shoulder joint function,joint range of motion,and inflammatory response indicators between two groups.Results The excellent and good rate of shoulder joint function in the observation group was 92.00%,which was higher than 76.00%in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the activity levels of shoulder joint abduction(126.81±15.26)°,flexion(121.27±16.53)°,and extension(41.42±7.36)° in the observation group were greater than those in the control group;The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(26.82±4.36)ng/L and interleukin-6(47.36±6.24)ng/L were lower than those in the control group,and the differences between groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis with pulsed radio frequency combined with extracorporeal shock wave is effective,which can improve joint function and range of motion and reduce inflammatory reaction.
