ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio experimental, tipo ensayo clínico controlado, en el período comprendido entre enero del 2007 hasta enero del 2008, con el fin de comparar la respuesta al tratamiento con farmacopuntura en el hombro doloroso con respecto al bloqueo del nervio supraescapular y proponer un algoritmo de tratamiento. La muestra quedó constituida por 60 pacientes, los cuales fueron aleatorizados y divididos en dos grupos, a uno se le realizó bloqueo del nervio supraescapular con betametasona y lidocaína al 2 por ciento en dosis habituales y al otro grupo se les aplicó farmacopuntura con pequeñas dosis de betametasona diluida con agua para inyección. El tratamiento fue aplicado dos veces por semana y hasta seis sesiones como máximo. Se evaluaron semanalmente por un equipo de trabajo teniendo en cuenta el criterio del paciente según la escala visual análoga, según criterio médico basado en el examen clínico, explorándose el dolor, la limitación de la movilidad articular y el balance funcional . Se observó una evolución satisfactoria más rápida en los pacientes tratados con farmacopuntura. El tratamiento con farmacopuntura en el hombro doloroso es de alta eficacia frente al bloqueo del nervio supraescapular.


We carried out an experimental, longitudinal and prospective study, at the Provincial Centre for the Development of Natural and Traditional Medicine Dr Mario E Dihigo, during the period from January 2007 to January 2008, with the objective of treating the increased incidence of patients with painful affections of the shoulder, requiring in many cases the usage of long, risk treatments, with results not always satisfactory. The sample was formed by 60 patients who were randomized and divided in two groups. A blockade of the supraescapular nerve with betamethasone and lidocain 2 per cent in habitual doses was applied to one group; the second one received pharmacopuncture with low doses of betamethasone diluted in water for injection. The treatment was applied 2 times a week and up to the maximum of 6 sessions. They were evaluated weakly for a working group, taking into account the patient's criteria according to the visual analogous scale, according to the medical criteria based on the clinical examination looking for pain, joint mobility limitation and functional balance. Among the studied patients there was a predominance of the female sex beginning from the third and fourth decades of life. Tendinitis of the rotator cuff was the most frequent diagnosis. There was a faster satisfactory recovery in patients treated with pharmacopuncture. Pharmacopuncture therapy in painful shoulder is of higher efficacy than the blockade of the supraescapular nerve.
