Influence of Kinesio Taping Combined with Intradermal Needling on Night Pain and Range of Motion in Shoulder Joint after Rotator Cuff Injury
Objective:To observe the influence of kinesio taping combined with intradermal needles on night pain and range of motion in the shoulder joint following rotator cuff injury,and to explore its underlying mecha-nism.Methods:60 patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 30 pa-tients in each.The control group received oral Celecoxib capsules,while the observation group underwent treat-ment with a combination of kinesio taping and intradermal needling.Visual Analog Scale(VAS)scores,University of California,Los Angeles(UCLA)Shoulder Rating Scale scores,and changes in shoulder joint range of motion were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment,both groups exhibited decreased VAS scores compared with before treatment,with the observation group showing greater improvements than the control group(all P＜0.05).Both groups had increased UCLA shoulder scores compared with before treatment(all P＜0.05),with the observation group showing higher scores than the control group(P＜0.05).Except for flexion,other direc-tions of shoulder joint motion in the control group slightly decreased after treatment compared with before treat-ment,but these differences were not statistically significant(all P＞0.05).In the observation group,improvements in flexion,abduction,extension,and external rotation were observed compared with pre-treatment,and these im-provements surpassed those in the control group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion:Kinesio taping combined with intra-dermal needling effectively alleviates night pain and enhances the range of motion in the shoulder joint after rota-tor cuff injury.
