Effect of Needling Shoulder Three Points and Hand Three Points with Jin Gu Needle in Treating Scapulohumeral Periarthritis and Its Impact on Pain Severity and Shoulder Joint Range of Motion
Objective:To explore the effect of needling shoulder three points and hand three points with Jin Gu needle in treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis and to observe its impact on pain severity and shoulder range of motion.Methods:120 patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were randomly divided into the control group(n=60)and the study group(n=60).The control group was treated with conventional acupuncture,whereas the study group was treated with needling shoulder three points and hand three points with Jin Gu needle.Clinical efficacy,TCM symptoms scores,shoulder pain severity and range of motion,and serum biochemical indicators,including interleukin-6(IL-6),transforming growth factor-(3(TGF-β)and prostaglandin E2(PGE2),were compared between before and after the treatment in the two groups.Results:The total effective rate was 96.67％(58/60)in the study group,which was significantly higher than 86.67％(52/60)in the control group(P＜0.05).The scores of TCM symptoms and the levels of IL-6,TGF-β and PGE2 were lower after the treatment than those before the treatment in the two groups,and the shoulder range of motion was improved after the treatment than that before the treatment in the two groups;of which the improvements were more significant in the study group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The shoulder pain scores were gradually decreased on 1 st day,3 rd day and 1 st week of treatment in the two groups(P＜0.05),and the scores were significantly lower in the study group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Needling shoulder three points and hand three points with Jin Gu needle has a significant effect on scapulohumeral periarthritis,and it can effectively relieve shoulder pain,improve shoulder range of motion,and improve clinical symptoms and inflammatory response.
