Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effects of tendon acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in treating rotator cuff injury.Methods:A total of 68 patients with rotator cuff injury treated in Qingdao Recuperation Center for PLA Naval Specialized Services from June 2019 to June 2020 were divided into observation group ( n=34) and control group ( n=34) by the random number table method. The control group was given conventional tendon acupuncture, while the observation group was given both tendon acupuncture and HBO treatment. Both groups received four weeks of treatment. The visual analogue score (VAS) was used to assess the pain severity in the control group and the observation group before and after treatment; the wireless joint mobility tester was used to measure the shoulder mobility and assess the change of the range of motion (ROM) before and after treatment. After treatment, the VAS in the observation group was lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Results:After treatment, the mobilities of internal rotation, external rotation, abduction, posterior extension, and forward flexion of the shoulder joint in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Tendon acupuncture combined with HBO therapy is effective in treating shoulder joint injury and is worth wide application in clinical practice.
