Clinical Observation of "5+X point" Injection Combined with Infrared Photomoxibustion in the Treatment of Adhesive Metapculitis Paralcutis
Objective To explore the clinical observation of ultrasound-guided "5+X" injection combined with infrared photomoxibustion for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint.Methods A total of 71 patients with adhesive shoulder capsu-litis were selected and divided into a control group and an experimental group.Both groups received routine treatment,with the control group receiving additional shoulder injection therapy on top of the routine treatment regimen,and the experimen-tal group receiving shoulder injection therapy combined with infrared moxibustion on top of the routine treatment regimen.Infrared thermography was performed before and after treatment.Results After 2 weeks of treatment,compared to before treatment,both groups of patients showed a decrease in NRS scores(P＜0.05)and an increase in Shoulder Joint Function Assessment scores(P＜0.05).Additionally,the scores in the experimental group were superior to those in the control group(P＜0.05).The number of shoulder injections and the duration of intravenous analgesic use during hospitalization were low-er in the experimental group than in the control group(P＜0.05).Furthermore,the shoulder skin temperature of both groups decreased(P＜0.05),with the experimental group showing a higher decrease than the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound-guided"5+X point" peripheral shoulder injection combined with infrared photomoxibustion shows remarkable efficacy in treating adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.This approach also helps in saving healthcare costs and is worthy of further clinical promotion.
