Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is a rare disorder characterized by sudden unilateral shoulder pain followed by progressive neuralgic amyotrophy. This case report describes an effective multimodal therapy approach for a 63-year-old man who presented with severe right shoulder pain and right scapular winging, which are uncommon manifestations of PTS. The patient participated in a multidisciplinary treatment program that included spinal manipulation, physiotherapy, magnetic muscle stimulation, and scraping therapy, all customized specifically for his distinct symptoms and underlying neuromuscular issues. Shoulder stability, range of motion, and pain relief all improved significantly after an eight-week treatment. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a multimodal rehabilitation strategy in treating such complex conditions and adds to the limited literature on the management of PTS with neuralgic amyotrophy. It stresses the significance of a comprehensive therapy approach, utilizing multiple therapeutic modalities to restore patient neuromuscular function. Further investigation is needed to corroborate these results through controlled studies.
帕森奇-特纳综合征（PTS）是一种罕见疾病，其特征为突发单侧肩部疼痛，随后出现进行性神经性肌萎缩。本病例报告描述了一种针对一名63岁男性的有效多模式治疗方法，该患者表现为严重的右肩疼痛和右肩胛翼状畸形，这些都是PTS的罕见表现。患者参与了一个多学科治疗项目，包括脊柱推拿、物理治疗、磁肌刺激和刮痧疗法，所有这些都是根据他独特的症状和潜在的神经肌肉问题专门定制的。经过八周的治疗，肩部稳定性、活动范围和疼痛缓解均有显著改善。本研究证明了多模式康复策略在治疗此类复杂病症中的有效性，并补充了关于PTS合并神经性肌萎缩管理的有限文献。它强调了综合治疗方法的重要性，利用多种治疗方式恢复患者的神经肌肉功能。需要通过对照研究进一步证实这些结果。
