| The research contents of this paper can be divided into two parts One is the summarize of literatures, the other is clinical study. The first one includes the summarize of ancient and recent literatures.In this research project, 60 scapulohumeral periarthritis patients were divided into 2 groups: thermoacupuncture group and acupuncture group. The clinical therapeutic efficacy of thermoacupuncture to scapulohumeral periarthritis was evaluated by the motor function and mobility of shoulder joints, ache rating, and observation of curative efficacy in clinical trials compared by acupuncture group.Results of the research showed that not only thermoacupuncture but also acupuncture can get satisfactory therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis. But in the same acupuncture points and period of treatment, the therapeutic efficacy of therme acupuncture was obviously better than acupuncture. It was statistical different between the 2 group in total effective rates, the time of symptom relief and clinical cure rates. And also, the efficacy of thermo acupuncture to relieve the ache of scapulohumeral periarthritis and improve the motor function and mobility of shoulder joints was obviously better than the one of acupuncture. |
