Efficacy Observations of Intensive Warm Acupuncture Combined with Mulligan Dynamic Joint Loosening in The Treatment of Rotator Cuff Injury
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of intensive warm acupuncture combined with Mulligan dynamic joint loosening on rotator cuff injury.Methods:A total of 72 patients were randomly divided into the ob-servation group and control group,36 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with intensive warm acupuncture and moxibustion at the painful tendon junction of the shoulder and Mulligan dynamic joint loosening,while the control group was treated with conventional acupoint warm acupuncture and moxibustion and Mulligan dynamic joint loosening.Both groups were performed for 6 weeks.Shoulder pain visual analog scale(VAS),shoul-der function scale(UCLA)and shoulder range of motion(ROM)of the two groups were recorded before and 6 weeks after treatment,respectively,and the clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared.Results:After 6 weeks of treatment,the VAS scores in both groups were significantly lower than before treatment(P＜0.05),the UCLA score of the two groups was significantly higher than that before treatment(P＜0.05),the ROM of shoulder joint in both groups was significantly increased compared with that before treatment(P＜0.05).Compared between the two groups,the improvement of VAS,UCLA and ROM in observation group were better than those in control group(P＜0.05).The total effective rate of observation group was 94.44％,which was higher than 80.65％of con-trol group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Intensive warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with Mulligan dynamic joint loosening can effectively relieve shoulder pain and restore shoulder joint function and motion,and the clinical efficacy is superior to conventional acupoint warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with Mulligan dynamic joint loosening.
