The Clinical Research Of The Canggui Tanxue-Acupuncture In The Treatment Of Rotator Cuff Tears Of Qi Stagnation And Blood Stasis Type

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of Canggui Tanxue-Acupuncture on the improvement of shoulder joint pain and dyskinesia after rotator cuff tears.Methods:Sixty-six patients with rotator cuff tears who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly divided into a observation group and a control group by using a simple random number table.Among them,33 cases in the control group were routinely acupunctured with Jianyu(LI15),Jianliao(TE 14),Jianzhen(SI 9),Tianzong(SI 11),Bingfeng(SI 12).33 cases in the observation group were treated with acupoints in the same as the control group,which Canggui Tanxue-Acupuncture was performed.The two groups were treated 5 times a week,rested for 2days,for a total of 6 weeks.The visual analog scale(VAS),shoulder flexion,abduction,external rotation activity and Constant-Murley Score(CMS)were evaluated before and after treatment separately.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 statistical software.Results:3 cases were dropped out,31 in the observation group and 32 in the control group.1.There was no statistic difference in age,gender,course of disease,the VAS score,shoulder flexion,abduction,external rotation activity and CMS score between the two groups of patients before treatment(P> 0.05);2.Visual analog scale(VAS): comparison within the group: the VAS scores after treatment in both groups were lower than before treatment,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);comparison between groups: the improvement of the VAS scores in the observation group after treatment was better than Control group(P<0.05).3.Shoulder joint mobility(ROM):comparison within the group: The shoulder joint flexion,abduction,and external rotation activity were higher in the two groups after treatment than before treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);comparison between groups:The improvement of shoulder flexion,abduction,and external rotation activity in the observation group after treatment was better than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).4.Constant-Murley Score(CMS): Comparison within the group:The CMS scores of the two groups after treatment were higher than before the treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);Comparison between groups: observation group improved CMS score after treatment Better than the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:On the basis of physical exercise,Canggui Tanxue-Acupuncture is better than routinely acupuncture in improving shoulder pain,ROM of shoulder joint after rotator cuff tears of Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis Type.
