Abstract:Objective To observe the clinical effect of overall acupotome lysis combined with ozone injection in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis at adhesion stage. Methods A total of 90 patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis at adhesion stage admitted to the People′s Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to December 2018 were selected and divided into group A, group B and group C by random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. Group A was treated with overall acupotome lysis combined with ozone injection, group B was treated with overall acupotome lysis, group C was treated with ozone injection, once a week, four times in total. The visual analogue scale (VAS), adjusted Constant-Murley shoulder function score, shoulder joint thermography before and after treatment and the general threapeutic effect after treatment were compared among the three groups. Results After treatment, the VAS scores in the three groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, while the adjusted Constant-Murley shoulder function score and the temperature of region of interest in thermography was higher than those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The VAS scores of group A were significantly lower than those of group B and C, while the adjusted Constant-Murley shoulder function scores and the temperature of region of interest in thermography of group A were significantly higher than those of group B and C, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The cure rate in group A was higher than that of group C, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.017), while there was no significant difference between group A and group B (P > 0.017). Conclusion Compared with single overall acupotome lysis or ozone injection, overall acupotome lysis combined with ozone injection can better relieve shoulder pain, improve shoulder function and blood circulation.
