Abstract:Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of deep muscle stimulation combined with manual muscle relaxation in the treatment of delayed onset muscle soreness, and to explore more effective clinical treatment methods. Methods: Forty-eight subjects were randomized into the combination therapy group (n=24) and the manual muscle relaxation group (n=24). After induction of delayed onset muscle soreness, the two groups were given different interventions. The patients in the combination therapy group were treated with deep muscle stimulation combined with the manual muscle relaxation, while the manual muscle relaxation group only received muscle relaxation therapy, and the treatment effects were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: The blood creatine kinase, lactate, and myoglobin concentrations decreased significantly in the combined treatment group at 24 hours after exercise than in the manual muscle relaxation group (P<0.05, P<0.01, and P<0.01). The improvement of muscle soreness in the combined treatment group 24 hours after exercise was significantly better than that of the conventional treatment group (P<0.01). The range of motion of the ankle joint and the recovery degree of calf circumference were significantly better than that of the manual muscle relaxation group (P<0.05, P<0.05).Conclusions: Deep muscle stimulation combined with manual muscle relaxation has superior therapeutic effect on delayed onset muscle soreness, and it is an effective method worthy of clinical application.
