안정화 운동, 체외충격파, 테이핑이 상승모근 근막통증 증후군에 미치는 효과 비교

Purpose: In this study, the eects of stability exercise, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, and taping on pain and function in patients with myofascial pain syndrome of upper trapezius were compared. Methods: The subjects were divided into the stability exercise, ESWT and the taping treatment group and the clinical outcomes were evaluated by visual analog scale (VAS), pressure pain threshold (PPT) and a constant-murley scale (CMS) at pre-treatment and post-treatment. Paired t-test and ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. Results: All groups were statistical signicance in the change in visual analog scale (p<0.05). The dierence between the ESWT group and taping group was statistical signicance in the change in pressure pain threshold (p<0.05) except for the taping group. Using the constant-murley scale, the stability exercise group showed a signicant decrease in pain, and a signicant increase in ROM, ADL, strength, total score of shoulder (p<0.05); however, the ESWT group showed no dierence on ADL. In addition, there was no dierence in strength for the taping group. The comparison of the eect between the stability exercise group, ESWT group and taping group in CMS showed a statistical signicant dierence in pain, ADL and ROM (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results indicate that stability exercise, ESWT and taping could be considered an effective and efficient treatment modality for myofascial pain syndrome of upper trapezius.
