Shoulder pain is a complex pathology due to pathological processes involving the glenohumeral joint, the acromioclavicular joint, the ligaments or the supporting tendons. In this paper we illustrate the efficacy of MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Therapy in the treatment of acute shoulder pain in inflammatory processes involving the rotator cuff. Twenty patients underwent monotherapy treatment with MLS Therapy using the MIX5 system (ASA, Arcugnano, Vicenza). After an initial clinical-anamnestic examination, subjective and objective evaluations of the pain symptomatology are made right before treatment, after 10 days of application and after 30 days. At the end of MLS Therapy treatment the data are compared with each other using t-test: the results relative to the VAS (p<0.0001) and to the SRQ and SSRS parameters show a statistically significant improvement and, as already demonstrated previously, confirm MLS Therapy as one of the best solutions for rapidly reducing pain symptoms in many muscle-tendon diseases, guaranteeing longlasting benefits from the results.
