Clinical Study On Acupuncture Combined With Thunder Fire Moxibustion For Treatment Of Cold And Damp Type Periarthritis Of Shoulder

Objective: By observing the efficacy comparison between acupuncture combined with lightning fire moxibustion therapy and acupuncture alone in the treatment of cold dampness type periarthritis of the shoulder,the difference in efficacy between the two treatment methods was analyzed,and better clinical effects were selected to provide new ideas for the treatment of cold dampness type periarthritis of the shoulder in the future and provide new methods to alleviate the pain of patients.Method: From January 2022 to December 2022,a total of 72 patients with cold and wet periarthritis of shoulder who met the inclusion criteria in the acupuncture and moxibustion Department,Massage Department,Pain Department,Orthopaedics Department and treatment areas of the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected.They were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group,with 36 cases in each group,for analysis and comparison.Both groups of patients were treated once a day,with 7 days as a course of treatment.After the end of the first course of treatment,a second course of treatment was conducted after a rest of 1 day,totaling 2 courses.By analyzing and comparing the VAS scores,CMS scores,and TCM symptom score table scores of the two groups of patients before and after treatment with statistical software,conclusions were drawn,and the advantages and disadvantages of the two treatment methods were discussed and analyzed.Result: After two courses of treatment,the VAS score,CMS score,and TCM symptom score of patients in both groups improved compared to before treatment(P<0.05),and the treatment group was superior to the control group(P<0.05).Treatment results of the two groups: In the treatment group,7 patients were cured,9 were significantly effective,13 were effective,and 1 was ineffective,with a total effective rate of 96.67%.In the control group,4 patients were cured,7 were significantly effective,13 were effective,and 6 were ineffective,with a total effective rate of 80.00%.After statistical analysis of the efficacy of the two groups,and P<0.05,it was shown that the effective rate of the treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group.Conclusion:(1)Simple acupuncture and acupuncture combined with lightning fire moxibustion can alleviate the symptoms of patients with cold-damp type periarthritis of the shoulder and improve the quality of life,but in terms of improving shoulder pain and shoulder mobility,acupuncture combined with lightning fire moxibustion is better than simple acupuncture.(2)Acupuncture combined with lightning fire moxibustion can effectively improve clinical symptoms of cold-dampness type periarthritis of shoulder,which is better than acupuncture alone,and has better long-term effect.It is a method worthy of clinical promotion.
