Randomized Controlled Clinical Study Of Hegu Acupuncture Method Combined With Cupping In Treating Periarthritis Of Shoulder(the Wind Cold Dampness Type)

PurPose:To evaluate efficacy,safety and compliance of treaments by Hegu Acupuncture Method combined with cupping and conventional acupuncture combined with cuPPing for periarthritis of shoulder due to the wind cold dampness type.Methods:Under the random,contrast,single-blind research method,72patients whose situation matches the standard that we need were divided into2grouPs(The treatment group and control group) on average.Result:1. Two groups based on gender, age, course of disease and state of periarthritis of shoulder(including Visual analogue, Constant-Murley) had no statistically significant differences (P>0.05), with comparability.2.Two groups each based on Visual analogue, The pain score,daily activity score, pain scale score in Constant-Murley before and after had significant differences compared with their own(P<0.05).3. Two groups based on Visual analogue, The pain score in Constant-Murley had significant differences compared with their own(P<0.05),The daily activity score,pain scale score in Constant-Murley had no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) after3course of treatment.4. Two groups based on Visual analogue and The Pain score in Constant-Murley had significant differences compared with their own(P<0.05)by following uP4th weeks after trail,The daily activity score, pain scale score and muscle power in Constant-Murley had no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) by following up4th weeks after trail.Conclusion:1.Acupuncture treated on both Hegu Acupuncture Method combined with cupping and conventional acupuncture combined with cupping had curative effects on periarthritis of shoulder due to the wind cold dampness type.2. The daily activity score, pain scale score and muscle power score in Constant-Murley of acupuncture treated on periarthritis of shoulder both Hegu Acupuncture Method combined with cupping method and conventional acupuncture combined with cupping method had the same effect on short term and long-term,The Visual analogue and The pain score in Constant-Murley of Hegu Acupuncture Method combined with cupping treated periarthritis of shoulder was better than conventional acupuncture combined with cupping treat periarthritis of shoulder.3.Both of the two methods had a safe curative effect and good compliance in patients.
