Clinical Observation on Shoulder Three Needles Combined with Bloodletting and Cupping Treatment for Periarthritis of Shoulder with Syndrome of Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of shoulder three needles combined with bloodletting and cupping for the treatment of periarthritis of shoulder with syndrome of qi stagnation and blood stasis.Methods:Totally 80 patients with periarthritis of shoulder and syndrome of qi stagnation and blood stasis were divided into the observation group and control group,each with 40 patients.The control group was treated with shoulder three needles acupuncture;on this basis,the observation group was combined with bloodletting and cupping.The total clinical effective rate of the two groups was recorded.The visual analog scale(VAS)score and Constant-Murley score were recorded at the pre-treatment,post-treatment and last follow-up visits.Results:The clinical effective rate of the observation group was 95.00%,which was higher than 80.00%of the control group(P<0.05);the VAS scores of the two groups decreased after treatment and at the last follow-up(P<0.05);the Constant-Murley scores of the two groups was higher than those before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of shoulder three needles combined with bloodletting and cupping is better than that of the shoulder three needles alone,which can further relieve the pain and improve the function of the shoul-der joint in patients with periarthritis of shoulder and syndrome of qi stagnation and blood stasis.
