Objective To analyze the application effect of wax therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine package intervention in patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis and its influences on pain symptoms and quality of life.Methods A total of 160 patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis treated in our hospital from March 2020 to March 2022 were selected as the research objects,and the patients were divided into control group(n=80)and observation group(n=80)according to random number table method.The control group was given routine nursing intervention,and the observation group was given wax therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine package intervention on this basis.The pain relief,shoulder joint function recovery and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results At 7 d after intervention and at the end of intervention,the Visual Analogue Score(VAS)score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After intervention,the scores of each dimension and total score of Constant-Murley shoulder joint score scale in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).At the end of follow-up,the scores of each dimension of 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey(SF-36)in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Wax therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine package intervention can effectively alleviate the pain symptoms of patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis,improve shoulder joint function and enhance the quality of life,which has clinical promotion value.
