The aim of the work: to evaluate the effectiveness of a complex method of treating patients with myofascial pain syndrome in the shoulder girdle in the form of a combination of ischemic compression of trigger points and high-intensity laser therapy.
Methods. Patient examination and treatment were conducted in a randomized, parallel-group study. The study included 57 patients with myofascial pain syndrome in the shoulder girdle, diagnosed with scapulohumeral periarthritis. These patients received a basic program consisting of exercise therapy, neck and shoulder massage, and magnetic therapy. They were divided into three groups. Group 1 received ischemic trigger point compression, while Group 2 received both trigger point compression and high-intensity laser therapy. Group 3 received sham laser therapy without ischemic trigger point compression.
Results. The use of a complex technique made it possible to increase the effectiveness of the intervention in terms of reducing the severity of clinical manifestations, reducing the duration of treatment (on average, by 5 days), and also ensures greater comfort of the procedure - due to the analgesic component of laser therapy.
Conclusion. An effective method for correcting myofascial pain syndrome based on the combined use of ischemic compression and high-intensity laser irradiation of trigger points is proposed.
