Abstract:Abstract Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of musculoskeletal ultrasound combined with massage in the treatment of post-stroke shoulder pain. Methods: A total of 40 hospitalized patients with poststroke shoulder pain from January 2022 to September 2022 were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 20 cases in each group. The control group was given massage therapy on the basis of conventional treatment, and the observation group was given musculoskeletal ultrasound interventional therapy on the basis of the control group. After 4 courses of treatment, the two groups of patients were compared with shoulder pain, upper limb motor function and shoulder range of motion. Results: After treatment, visual analog scale (VAS) was lower than that before treatment (P < 0.05), and the VAS score of observation group was lower than that of control group (P < 0.05). The motor function level of the upper limbs was higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05), and the motor function level of the observation group after treatment was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The flexion and abduction levels of shoulder joint were higher than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and the flexion and abduction levels of shoulder joint in observation group were higher than those in control group after treatment (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The interventional therapy of musculoskeletal ultrasound combined with massage can significantly reduce the degree of pain in patients with post-stroke shoulder pain, improve the motor function of the upper limb and the range of motion of the shoulder, and provide a reliable theoretical basis for the formulation of clinical intervention measures.
