| Popis: | Objective To observe the short- and long-term clinical efficacy differences of body acupuncture and scalp acupuncture combined with extracorporeal shock wave and simple extracorporeal shock wave. Methods Sixty patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were randomly divided into two groups: the treatment group and control group, 30 cases in each one. Both groups underwent basic rehabilitation training. Patients in the treatment group were treated with body acupuncture and scalp acupuncture combined with extracorporeal shock wave.Yuji (鱼际 LU10), Hegŭ (合谷LI4), Zhōngzhŭ (中渚TE3), Houxī (后溪SI3). There were three needles for the scalp acupuncture with the first between Shenting (神庭 GV 24) and Yintang (印堂 EX-HN3), and the other two straightly through the inner canthus and parallel to the first needle. Shock wave treatment was intensively applied in some pressure points around shoulder joint. The control group used the same shock wave therapy as the treatment group. Both groups were all treated once a day, 6 times a week. Patients were treated for one course which lasted for 4 weeks. VAS score, the Constant-Murley score and the HAMA (the Hamilton Anxiety Scale) are as therapeutic effect index. 30 days telephone investigation followed-up after the treatment course was evaluated. Results Totally 28 cases completed the clinical observation in the treatment group, and 29 cases in the control group. The total effective rate of the treatment group was 85.7% (24/28), which was higher than 69.0% (20/29) of the control group (P Conclusion Body acupuncture and scalp acupuncture combined with extracorporeal shock wave can relieve the clinical symptoms of patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis, ease anxiety and improve daily life activities. |
