Abstract
In order to determine the most effective method of treatment for a work-induced shoulder problem diagnosed as shoulder girdle myofascial syndrome, a comparative study of three different treatment procedures was conducted. The treatment procedures were as follows: 1) treatment with muscle relaxant and analgesic medication; 2) treatment with hydrocollator/ultrasound modalities; and 3) treatment with medication administered by iontophoresis. Results of the study indicated iontophoresis to be the most effective treatment. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1982;4(1):51-54.Keywords
