Clinical Study on Acupotomy Combined with Manual Release on the Treatment of Adhesive Shoulder Capsulitis
Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of acupotomy combined with manual release in the treatment of adhe-sive shoulder bursitis.Methods:64 patients with adhesive shoulder capsulitis were randomly divided into two groups,32 cases in each group.The control group was given manual release under general anesthesia,and the observation group was combined with acupotomy on the basis of the control group.The efficacy was evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS),Constant-Murley shoulder score,shoulder mobility and effective rate.Results:Compared with the group before treatment,the VAS score,Constant-Murley score,and shoulder joint activity in all directions were significantly improved after treat-ment in the two groups(P<0.05).The VAS score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the con-trol group after treatment(P<0.05),the Constant-Murley score was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05),the internal rotation and external rotation of the shoulder joint were significantly better than those of the con-trol group(P<0.05),and the effective rate was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).No adverse events were found in the two groups during the treatment.Conclusion:Acupotomy combined with manual release has a sig-nificant efficacy on the improvement of pain and joint function in patients with adhesive shoulder bursitis.Acupotomy combined with manual release is effective on the treatment of adhesive shoulder bursitis.
