摘要

Objective

To observe the therapeutic effect and safety of cupping therapy in treating patients with acute-stage scapulohumeral periarthritis (SP) of a wind-cold-dampness pattern.

Methods

A total of 60 patients with acute-stage SP of a wind-cold-dampness pattern were divided into a treatment group and a control group according to a random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. Both groups received active exercise. The treatment group was additionally treated with cupping therapy, while the control group was additionally treated with conventional medication. After 2 consecutive weeks of treatment, changes in the pain degree, shoulder joint function, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score were observed. The total effective rate and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.

Results

Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the visual analog scale (VAS) score, TCM symptom score, or Constant-Murley score (CMS) of shoulder joint function (P>0.05). After treatment, the VAS and TCM symptom scores in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), while the CMS and total effective rate were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). No obvious adverse reactions occurred in either group during treatment.

Conclusion

On the basis of active exercise, cupping therapy can effectively relieve pain and improve shoulder joint function in patients with acute-stage SP of a wind-cold-dampness pattern, with fewer adverse reactions.
