Clinical Observation on Meridian Tendon Acupuncture Combined with Lateral Insertion for Scapular Fasciitis
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of meridian tendon acupuncture combined with lateral inser-tion for scapular fasciitis.Methods:A total of 60 patients with scapular fasciitis were randomly divided into the control group(30 cases)and treatment group(30 cases).The control group was treated with meridian tendon acu-puncture alone,and the treatment group was treated with lateral insertion on the basis of the control group.The treatment course was 4 times a week for 2 weeks.The present pain intensity(PPI),visual analogue score(VAS)and clinical efficacy of the two groups before and after treatment were observed and compared.Results:The total effective rate of the treatment group was 93.33％,while the control group was 70.00％.Compared between the two groups,the clinical efficacy of the treatment group was better than that of the control group,with a statistically sig-nificant difference(P＜0.05).After treatment,the VAS scores of both groups decreased compared with before treat-ment,and the treatment group was superior to the control group in improving VAS scores,with a statistically signif-icant difference(P＜0.05).After treatment,the PPI scores of both groups decreased compared with before treat-ment,and the PPI scores of the treatment group were lower than those of the control group,with a statistically sig-nificant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The treatment of scapular fasciitis by meridian tendon acupuncture combined with lateral insertion can improve the clinical efficacy,improve the patients'daily activities and relieve tenderness.
