ABSTRACT
Introduction: Adhesive capsulitis of shoulder is a diseases anatomically characterized by a fibrous retraction of the articular capsule, which produces great limitation in all both active and passive glenohumeral motions.Objective: To evaluate the acupuncture and kinesiotherapy technique effectiveness in patients with adhesive capsulitis of shoulder, as well as to determine pain degree and functional limitation in patients before and after treatment.
Methods: Controlled clinical therapeutic essay for assessing acupuncture and kinesiotherapy effectiveness in 62 patients with adhesive capsulitis of shoulder, attended in “Dr. Tomás Romay” Teaching Polyclinic of Artemisa Municipality, from January 2014 to January 2015. Two groups were made up (control group and study group) by 31 members each: the first ones received acupuncture and kinesiotherapy; the second ones, electrotherapy treatments and kinesiotherapy.
Results: After 20 therapeutic sessions, the pain let up considerably in the study group members, which were significantly different between both groups regarding pain intensity (p ‹ 0.05). After three months, the study group improvement was noticeable as compared with the control group regarding both pain relief and shoulder function-ability.
Conclusions: The acupuncture and kinesiotherapy treatment was assumed as fairly affective in adhesive capsulitis of shoulder. Both pain relief and functional limitation of the shoulder as of the first 2o sessions of treatment improved noticeably.
