RESUMO

ObjectiveTo test the inter-tester reliability and test-retest reliability of MyotonPRO for evaluating neck and shoulder muscle performance parameters in patients with unilateral chronic neck pain, observe the difference of muscle performance between the healthy and affected sides of patients with chronic neck pain, and analyze the factors that cause the imbalance of muscle performance in patients with chronic neck pain. MethodsFrom January to June, 2023, 32 patients with unilateral chronic neck pain in Guangdong Second Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were selected. Two testers used the same MyotonPRO equipment to measure the muscle tone, muscle hardness and muscle elasticity on both sides of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the upper trapezius muscle in the relaxed position. Tester 1 repeated the measurement after an interval of 30 minutes, and Tester 2 was measured within the time interval between the two measurements of Tester 1. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of mean (SEM) and minimum detectable change (MDC) were calculated simultaneously. The measurement results were plotted into Bland-Altman diagram and systematic bias analysis was performed. The difference in muscle characteristics between the affected side and the healthy side was compared. At the same time, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and body mass index (BMI) of the subjects were collected for correlation analysis. ResultsExcept the sternocleidomastoid muscle elasticity of the affected side (ICC = 0.697), the inter-tester reliability of all other parameters was high to very high (ICC = 0.719 to 0.952, SEM = 0.04 to 6.53, MDC = 0.12 to 18.11). The test-retest reliability of all parameters was high (ICC = 0.883 to 0.981, SEM = 0.03 to 5.72, MDC = 0.09 to 15.84). Bland-Altman plot analysis showed that the scatter distribution was consistent. The muscle tone, muscle hardness and muscle elasticity of sternocleidomastoid muscle and upper trapezius muscle were higher on the affected side than on the healthy side (t > 2.846, P < 0.05). The asymmetry index of tension, hardness and elasticity of upper trapezius muscle and sternocleidomastoid muscle was significantly positively correlated with VAS score and BMI (r > 0.385, P < 0.05). ConclusionMyotonPRO has good inter-tester reliability and retest reliability in evaluating the muscle performance of both sides of patients with chronic neck pain. The muscle tone, muscle hardness and muscle elasticity of sternocleidomastoid muscle and upper trapezius muscle on the affected side were higher than on the healthy side, and the difference of muscle performance was positively correlated with pain and BMI.

RESUMO

@#Objective To explore the clinical effect of inner heating dry needle therapy on nonspecific chronic neck pain (NCNP). Methods From October, 2017 to March, 2018, 60 patients with NCNP were randomly divided into needle group (n=30) and magner group (n=30). The needle group received inner heating dry needle therapy, and the magner group received hot magner therapy. They were measured the strain ratio (SR) of bilateral trapezius muscles, scalp clamp muscles, cephalospinal muscles, semispinalis muscles and multifidus muscles with ultrasound elastography before, and one week and one month after treatment, respectively, while they were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain and Neck Disability Index (NDI). Results The scores of VAS and NDI decreased in both groups one week and one month after treatment (t>2.693, P<0.05), and decreased more in the needle group than in the magner group (F>8.048, P<0.001). SR of all the muscles decreased in the needle group one week and one month after treatment (F>6.22, P<0.01), and only decreased in the right cephalospinal muscles in the magner group (F=4.35, P<0.05).Conclusion Inner heating dry needle therapy could recover the neck muscle elasticity to relieve pain and improve ceivical function in patients with NCNP.
