Pain point plucking method combined with flash cupping and retaining cupping method in the treatment of wind cold dampness type shoulder periarthritis
Objective To explore the effects of pain point plucking method combined with flash cupping and retaining cupping method in the treatment of wind cold dampness type shoulder periarthritis.Methods 92 patients with shoulder periarthritis admitted to our hospital from September 2021 to March 2023 were divided into two groups using a random number table method,with 46 cases in each group.The control group were treated with pain point plucking method,while the observation group were treated with flash cupping and retention cupping methods on the basis of the control group.Two groups were treated for 4 weeks.The clinical efficacy,Shoulder joint range of motion,TCM symptom score,Constant-Murley shoulder joint function scale(CMS),pain degree and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.65%,which was higher than the control group's 82.61%,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the activity of extension,abduction,flexion,and external internal rotation in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome score and visual analog scale(VAS)were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The CMS score and quality of life score were higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Pain point plucking method combined with flash cupping and retaining cupping method in the treatment of wind cold dampness type shoulder periarthritis can help alleviate pain,improve shoulder joint function,and enhance treatment effectiveness.
