Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to observe effectiveness of ultrasound-guided Soyeom pharmacopuncture therapy at acromioclavicular joint of shoulder in patients with anterior shoulder pain. Methods We analyzed medical records of 9 patients hospitalized with anterior shoulder pain who had admitted to Department of Korean Rehabilitation Medicine, College of Korean Medicine, Daejeon University from March 1, 2021 to June 13, 2021. 9 patients were treated the treatment of Soyeom pharmacopuncture therapy on acromioclavicular joint under ultrasonic guidance with Korean medicine treatment (such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxabustion, etc). The study was conducted as a retrospective observation study which analyze the patient's medical records. We used numeric rating scale (NRS) to evaluate pain reduction and the shoulder range of motion (ROM) to evaluate function improvement twice (before pharmacopuncture treatment and 5 days later treatment). Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 25 program (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA). Results The average of numeric rating scale reduced statistically significantly from 5.56±1.13 to 3.11±1.36 (p=0.004). The average of shoulder flexion ROM increased statistically significantly from 166.67±8.17° to 175.00±8.37° (p<0.05). And the average of shoulder abduction ROM increased statistically significantly from 158.57±20.35° to 172.86±12.53° (p<0.05). Both NRS and shouler ROM showed statistically significantly improve after treatment. Conclusions This study shows ultrasound-guided Soyeom pharmacopuncture therapy at acromioclavicular joint of shoulder has a meaningful clinical effect on the improving shoulder pain and ROM especially on flexion and abduction.
