Clinical Observation of Press Needles Combined with Modified Gubi Decoction for Treating Rotator Cuff Injury(Syndrome of Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis)
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of press needles combined with Modified Gubi Decoction in treating rotator cuff injury(qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome)and to provide a simple and effective meth-od for the treatment of rotator cuff injury.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 66 patients with ro-tator cuff injury who were treated between June 2022 and June 2023.They were divided into an observation group and a control group,with 33 patients in each group.The observation group was treated with press needles com-bined with Modified Gubi Decoction,while the control group received only Modified Gubi Decoction.Both groups al-so performed functional exercises.The visual analog scale(VAS)score,Constant-Murley shoulder score,UCLA shoulder rating system,range of motion(ROM),and overall effective rate were used as observation indicators to re-cord the shoulder pain,shoulder function,and overall satisfaction of the patients.The changes in these indicators before and 4 weeks after treatment were compared.Results:The overall effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than in the control group.4 weeks after treatment,the VAS scores decreased,and the Con-stant-Murley scores,UCLA shoulder scores,and ROM improved in both groups,with the observation group show-ing better results than the control group.The differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The combination of press needles and Modified Gubi Decoction can effectively relieve pain symptoms in patients with rotator cuff injury(qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome)and improve shoulder joint mobility.This treatment method is worthy of clinical promotion and use.
