探討智慧型手機結合低能量雷射的功效-以筋肌膜疼痛症候群為例
The effectiveness of smart phone combined with low-level laser in the case of myofascial pain syndrome
摘要
近年來因民眾承受過大的壓力和生活上錯誤的姿勢，導致筋肌膜疼痛症候群的文明病越趨嚴重，且自2019的新冠疫情爆發之後人們無法如往常一樣頻繁的進出醫療院所，進而促成了許多的醫療保養轉向了居家的方式進行；加上科技的進步和智慧醫療的發展，搭配智慧型手機的高度普及化和健康保健應用軟體廣泛的開發，使一般民眾在居家保健上有更多的選擇。不過此類的智慧型醫療器材仍在初始發展階段，醫療效果的研究報告尚不充足，故本研究欲探討智慧型手機結合低能量雷射對於筋肌膜疼痛症候群的止痛效果。 本研究以問卷調查三十三位民眾使用智慧型手機結合低能量雷射後對疼痛症狀改善的主觀感受，以成對ｔ檢定分析疼痛指數導入前後使用感受差異。再以獨立ｔ檢定和ANOVA檢定來檢視其他相關因子對於使用效果的影響。 研究結果發現對於疼痛指數(t=12.55,P<0.001)，在使用智慧型手機結合低能量雷射後有顯著改善，表示此器材對於筋肌膜疼痛症候群具有減緩症狀的效果。而使用總時數(t=-2.943,P<.001)，證實低能量雷射的劑量累積性，表示低能量雷射需要長時間持續性的使用才能得到最佳的效果。 本研究證實智慧型手機結合低能量雷射的治療效果和其他因子的影響性，對於此器材在居家保健和降低醫療負擔的貢獻上相當期待，未來可以探討雷射的波長、能量、頻率等相關參數對於治療效果的影響，也可以比較不同智慧醫療器材的使用效果。

Recent years, due to excessive pressure and wrong postures in life, the civilized disease of myofascial pain syndrome has become gradually serious. Furthermore, a lot of medical care has turned to the way of in-home healthcare since people keep themselves from hospital and clinic because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the advancement of technology and the development of smart medical care, coupled with the high popularity of smart phones and the extensive development of health care application software, there are more and more opportunities of in-home healthcare for public. However, such smart medical devices are still in the initial stage of development, and research reports on medical effects are not yet sufficient. Therefore, this study intends to investigate the effectiveness of smart phone combined with low-level laser in the case of myofascial pain syndrome. In this study, thirty-three people answered the questionnaire pre and post the application of smart phone combined with low-level lasers to test the effect of releasing the pain. We examined age, sex, and total using time as variables to see if they affect the effect of pain releasing. The results of the study indicated that there were significant decreases in pain index (t=12.55,P<.001),and we also find out that total using time is a key influence of the treating effect. In summary, people reported significant relief in pain after the application of smart phone combined with low-level lasers. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for the public to choose smart medical devices in the future, and to help people find out suitable and effective health care methods.
