Abstract

Background: Notice to the high prevalence of Patellofemoral Pain syndrome and the development of Acupuncture methods, this study aimed to compare the effect of electro-Acupuncture and sham electro-Acupuncture on Pain and function of patients with Patellofemoral Pain syndrome. Methods: In a randomized clinical trial study, 40 patients with Patellofemoral Pain syndrome were selected, and randomly allocated in two groups. The first group were treated with electro-Acupuncture and the second group were treated with sham electro-Acupuncture. The severity of Pain and function of patients was evaluated before the intervention, and 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment using Anterior Knee Pain Scale (AKPS), and compared between the two groups. Findings: During the follow-up, Pain severity improved in both groups (P < 0. 01), but the rate of improvement did not differ between the two groups (P = 0. 12). AKPS was significantly improved in the electro-Acupuncture group (P = 0. 04), but no significant difference was observed in the sham electro-Acupuncture group (P = 0. 09). The trend of AKPS was not significant difference between the two groups (P = 0. 12). Conclusion: The findings of our study showed that both sham electro-Acupuncture and electro-Acupuncture methods were effective in reducing Pain and the symptoms of Patellofemoral syndrome; but the efficacy of these two methods was not significant.
