Objective To investigate the effect of neuromuscular stimulator on psoas pain and its effect on lumbar spine function and electromyography. Methods From February 2020 to October 2021, 132 patients with psoas pain admitted to Huizhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were divided into an observation group and a control group by random number table method, with 66 cases in each group. The control group was given routine drug treatment and rehabilitation training, and the observation group was given neuromuscular stimulator treatment on the basis of the control group. The CR10 scale (RPS) classification and Oswestry disability index were evaluated before and after treatment in the two groups. Results After 1 month and 3 months of treatment, the pain degree and lumbar function score of the observation group were gradually decreased, and were significantly lower than the scores of the control group at the same time period (P<0.05). The EMG value on the surface gradually increased, and was significantly higher than that in the control group at the same time period (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of neuromuscular stimulator on the basis of conventional treatment of psoas pain can better relieve pain, improve lumbar spine function, and reduce the degree of dysfunction.
