Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Jin’s three-needle therapy plus medicated thread moxibustion for shoulder-hand syndrome at phaseⅠ. Methods By simple randomized controlled method, sixty qualified patients were randomized into observation group (N=32) and control group (N=28) . The observation group was given Jin’s three-needle therapy plus medicated thread moxibustion, and the control group was given conventional acupuncture therapy. Treatment was performed once a day for the two groups, 5 continuous times per week, and one course covered 3 weeks. At the end of the treatment, therapeutic effect, simplified Fugl-Meyer scores for upper limb motor ability, and pain visual analog scale ( VAS) scores were compared between the two groups. Results (1) The total effective rate was 93.7% in the observation group and was 82.1% in the control group, the difference being significant ( P<0.05). ( 2) Fugl-Meyer scores were improved in the two groups after treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the improvement of the observation group was superior to that of the control group ( P<0.05). ( 3) The results of VAS scoring showed that the pain in the upper limb was much relieved in both groups after treatment ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) , and the relief of pain was more obvious in the observation group ( P<0.05). Conclusion Jin’s three-needle therapy plus medicated thread moxibustion exerts certain therapeutic effect for shoulder-hand syndrome at phaseⅠ.
