摘　　要：Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)plus needling the distal acupoints along the pathway of meridians for shoulder periarthritis(SP).Methods A total of 70 patients with SP were divided into an observation group and a control group using the random number table method,with 35 cases in each group.The patients in the observation group were treated by Tuina combined with needling distal acupoints along the pathway of meridians,while those in the control group only received the same Tuina treatment as in the observation group.The visual analog scale(VAS)and shoulder joint function were scored before and after treatment,and the efficacy after treatment was evaluated.Results After three courses of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 94.3%,while the total effective rate of the control group was 80.0%,showing a statistical difference(P<0.05).After treatment,the VAS scores of the two groups were significantly lower than the baseline scores(P<0.01),and the VAS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.01).After treatment,the total scores of internal rotation,external rotation,back touching,ear touching and motion function in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment(P<0.01),and the above five scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion Tuina combined with needling the distal acupoints along the pathway of meridians is more effective than Tuina alone in treating SP.The combined therapy can relieve the pain and improve joint function more effectively.目的观察针刺循经远端穴配合推拿治疗肩周炎的临床疗效。方法将70例肩周炎患者按照随机数字表法分为观察组和对照组,每组35例。观察组采用针刺循经远端穴配合推拿治疗,对照组仅采用与观察组相同的推拿治疗。治疗前后进行视觉模拟量表(VAS)和肩关节功能评分,治疗后评估疗效。结果经过3个疗程治疗,观察组组总有效率为94.3%,对照组总有效率为80.0%,两组总有效率差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);两组患者的VAS评分均较本组治疗前明显降低(P<0.01),观察组VAS评分低于对照组(P<0.01);两组患者的肩关节内旋、外旋、摸背、摸耳及运动功能总分均较本组治疗前明显提高(P<0.01),且观察组患者的上述5项评分均显著高于对照组(P<0.01)。结论针刺循经远端穴配合推拿治疗肩周炎疗效优于单独推拿治疗,能更好地缓解患者疼痛及改善肩关节活动功能。
