Eighty-seven cases analysis of joint three acupoints of shoulder combined warm acupuncture in treatment of frozen shoulder

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of joint three acupoints of shoulder combined warm acupuncture in treatment of frozen shoulder,and its effect on pain and shoulder function. Methods One hundred and seventy-four cases of patients with frozen shoulder in our hospital from January,2014 to June,2016 were randomly divided into two groups by randomly number method,each group 87 cases.Patients in control group were given joint three acupoints of shoulder combined acupuncture,and patients in observation group were given joint three acupoints of shoulder combined warm acupuncture.After treatment,the pain[Mcgill pain scale (sensory pain,emotional category,visual pain score VAS,existing pain intensity PPI),shoulder function[Neer score (pain,function,activity)]and clinical curative effect of the two groups were accounted.Data were analyzed by SPSS soft to investigate the clinical effect of joint three acupoints of shoulder combined warm acupuncture in treatment of frozen shoulder,and its effect on pain and shoulder function. Results After treatment,sensory pain,emotional category,visual pain score VAS,existing pain intensity PPI indexs in Mcgill pain scale of two groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05),and sensory pain,emotional category,visual pain score VAS,existing pain intensity PPI in Mcgill pain scale of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group (P<0.05).After treatment,pain,function,activity in Neer scores of two groups were significantly increased (P<0.05),and pain,function,activity in Neer scores of observation group were significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05).The total effective rate of the observation group was 90.8%,which was significantly higher than that of control group (74.7%,P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with joint three acupoints of shoulder combined acupuncture,joint three acupoints of shoulder combined warm acupuncture could effectively reduce the pain and improve shoulder function of patients with frozen shoulder,with satisfactory clinical results.
