Clinical Observation on Massage through Tendons Combined with Acupoint Fumigation in the Treatment of Shoulder Periarthritis(Syndrome of Cold-damp Blockade)
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of massage through tendons combined with acupoint fumi-gation in the treatment of shoulder periarthritis(syndrome of cold-damp blockade).Methods:A total of 60 pa-tients were randomly divided into the control group(30 cases receiving conventional massage combined with acu-point fumigation)and observation group(30 cases receiving massage through tendons on the basis of the control group).Visual analogue pain scale(VAS)scores of the two groups before and after treatment were compared,and the outcome indicators such as the changes of shoulder joint motion angle(ROM)in four dimensions of forward flexion,posterior extension,internal rotation and abduction before and after treatment were compared.The clinical effects between two groups were also compared.Results:After treatment,the total clinical effective rate of the ob-servation group was 90.00%,which was significantly higher than 83.33%of the control group(P<0.05);the VAS score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05),and the values of forward flexion,posterior extension,internal rotation and abduction in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of massage through tendons combined with acu-point fumigation in the treatment of shoulder periarthritis(syndrome of cold-damp blockade)is reliable,which can effectively alleviate the pain of patients,significantly expand the angle of motion of the shoulder joint and im-prove the functional status of the shoulder.
