ABSTRACT

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of E10 on the relief of cervical myalgia.MethodsThis study is a one group pre-post, pilot trial test. After the approval of institu-tional review board (IRB), we have recruited 25 patients suffering from cervical myalgia. 23 patients (2 patients dropped out) was treated by using E10 on the cervical muscle and acu-puncture points, three times a week for a total of two weeks from February 2016 to April 2016. Evaluations of VAS for bothersomeness of neck pain (VASB), VAS for pain intensity (VASP), NDI, SF-36, X-ray, thermography, etc. before and 1 week after treatment were car-ried out. The primary outcome measure was the VASB, measured 1 week after the end of the therapy.ResultsVASB scores was significantly decreased from 72.5±9.9 to 50.4±9.9. VASP scores was significantly decreased from 71.5±10.5 to 48.5±18.3. Results showed sig-nificant improvements in VASB, VASP, NDI, SF-36 from the baseline. However, in X-ray, thermography, there was no singnificant difference.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates the effectiveness of E10 treatment for relieving cervical myalgia.
