Abstract:
Non-traumatic shoulder pain is the third most common cause of consultations for musculoskeletal pain in primary health care. It is one of the common musculoskeletal conditions of the shoulder which may develop sensory-motor and autonomic dysfunctions at the various level of the neuromuscular system. The objective of the study to find out the Effects of Intramuscular Electrical Stimulation for Treatment of Non-Traumatic Shoulder Pain. The pain and dysfunction caused by NSP were primarily treated with physical therapy and pharmacological agents in order to achieve pain free movements. However, in recent years intramuscular electrical stimulation (IMES) with conventional electrode placement was used by researchers to maximize therapeutic values. But, in this study an inverse electrode placement was used to deliver electrical impulses intramuscularly to achieve neuro-modulation at the various level of the nervous system. Nine patients with NSP were treated with intramuscular electrode stimulation using inversely placed electrodes for a period of three weeks. All nine subjects recovered from their shoulder pain and disability within the few weeks of intervention. So, this IMES may be more appropriate for treatment approach for Non traumatic shoulder pain management.
