Abstract

A therapeutic intervention study in 40 patients who went to the Pain Clinic department in Santiago de Cuba due to shoulder bursal synovitis, was carried out from January to December, 2014, aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of pharmacopuncture in these patients.  Among the variables of interest there were: age, sex and most frequent symptoms. There was a prevalence of the male sex (65.0%) and pain (100.0%). After the first 3 sessions an improvement was observed, because 80.0% of the symptoms disappeared.  The obtained results evidenced the effectiveness of this therapy in 95.0% of those affected.
