The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and self stretching exercise for the shoulder muscles of pain and function of the patients with myofascial pain syndrome. Thirty subjects with shoulder pain due to myofascial pain syndrome participated in the experiment. They were randomly divided into 15 experimental groups and 15 control groups. Two group subjects were conducted for 4 weeks, 3 days a week. The experimental group was subjected to extracorporeal shock wave therapy 2000 times at an intensity of 5 Hz and 2.0 bar once, and self-stretching exercise for 15 minutes one day. The control group performed upper trapezius and middle deltoid self-stretching exercise for 30 minutes one day. All subjects measured and compared shoulder pain index with PPT, CMS before and after the experiment. Data analysis was performed with SPSS WIN 18.0, and correspondence comparison was performed to faired t-test analyze the results of the experimental group and the control group before and after the experiment. After the experiment, the experimental group decreased significantly in PPT of the neck-shoulder muscle, and CMS increased significantly. Also, the control group decreased in PPT and increased in CMS, but there was no significant difference. Though these results, extracorporeal shock wave therapy was showed a reduction in pain and function recovery after treatment than before treatment but there are small difference in the pain reduction and function recovery after self stretching exercise. Thus, extracorporeal shock wave therapy is expected to be used as a variety of treatments to reduce shoulder pain as a cause of myofascial syndrome.
