Objective: To observe the efficacy of electrical stimulation applied to leg muscle soreness and its effects on muscle strength, joint activity and inflammatory factor levels. Methods: A total of 70 patients with leg muscle pain in our department were included, and the patients were randomly assigned to the control group (drug combined with manual muscle relaxation therapy, n=35) and the observation group (adding electrical stimulation therapy on the basis of the control group, n=35) The degree of muscle soreness, subjective physical strength, and ankle range of motion were evaluated and compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, the degree of muscle soreness and subjective physical strength in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); the angles of ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion and muscle strength in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The application of electrical stimulation in the treatment of leg muscle soreness can effectively reduce the degree of muscle soreness, improve the range of motion of the ankle joint and muscle strength, and is worthy of wide application in patients with leg muscle soreness.
