Objective:

To investigate the clinical effect of Kinesio Taping combined with electroacupuncture in the treatment of Bigliani typeⅠsubacromial impingement syndrome.


Methods:

From January 2019 to June 2021, 82 cases with Bigliani typeⅠsubacromial impingement syndrome were selected and divided into treatment group and control group. Treatment group included 41 cases, 23 males and 18 females, aged from 20 to 52 years old, with an average of (39.31±5.80)years old. There were 12 cases on left shoulder and 29 cases on right shoulder. The course of disease was from 3.2 to 35.4 months. The treatment group was treated with Kinesio Taping and electroacupuncture. In control group, there were 41 cases, including 22 males and 19 females, aged from 19 to 53 years old with an average of (40.67±6.13) years old, 30 cases on right shoulder, 11 cases on left shoulder. The courses of disease was from 3.0 to 36.0 months. The control group was treated with simple shoulder electroacupuncture. Patients in both groups were treated with electroacupuncture 3 times a week for 3 weeks. After each electroacupuncture treatment in the treatment group, the Kinesio Taping was applied immediately and kept for 2 days. Before treatment, immediately after treatment, and after 1, 3, 8 weeks, the shoulder joint Constant-Murley score, pain visual analogue scale (VAS), and shoulder joint range of motion were used to evaluate the treatment effect.


Results:

After 1 week of treatment, there was 1 patient in treatment group refused treatment due to hypersensitivity to Kinesio Taping, 1 patient in control group was allergic to the metal needle and refused treatment. And the other 80 patients completed all treatment. Immediately after treatment, and 1, 3, and 8 weeks after treatment, VAS of treatment group were (2.06±1.03), (2.74±1.66), (3.28±1.04), and (3.90±0.12) points, respectively. The Constant-Murley scores of shoulder joint were(86.41±3.52), (82.44±3.14), (80.46±2.54), (76.97±2.01) points. VAS of control group were(3.35±0.41), (3.08±0.92), (3.77±0.67), (3.96±1.04) points, and the Constant-Murley scores of the shoulder joint were(75.82±2.73), (74.72±1.53), (73.66±1.53), (70.68±1.95) points respectively. Immediately after treatment, VAS, Constant-Murley score, and shoulder range of motion between two groups were better than those of before treatment (P<0.05), and the difference was statistically significant between two groups after treatment (P<0.05). One week after treatment, VAS, Constant-Murley score, and shoulder joint range of motion between two groups were better than those of before treatment (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in VAS between two groups (P>0.05). There were significant differences in the Constant-Murley score and shoulder range of motion between two groups (P<0.05). At 3 and 8 weeks after treatment, VAS, Constant-Murley score, and the range of motion of shoulder joints between two groups were better than those of before treatment (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between two groups(P>0.05).


Conclusion:

The treatment for bigliani typeⅠsubacromial impingement syndrome with Kinesio Taping combined with electroacupuncture can reduce pain, effectively improve the function of shoulder joint. In addition, with Kinesio Taping protection when motion, the patients sports ability can be improved obviously, with good immediate effect, and no trauma. If the patients are willing to accept it, it would be an immediate and effective treatment.
