Objective: To analyze the therapeutic effect of contralateral needling in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis. Methods: A total of 68 cases of scapulohumeral periarthritis were outpatients and were randomized into treatment group (n=36) and control group (n=32). In treatment group, Zhiyin (BL 67), Jinmen (BL 63) and Yanglao (SI 6) on the contralateral side of the affected shoulder and local tenderpoints (Ashi-points) were punctured once every other day, with 7 days being a therapeutic course; while in control group, local Ashi-points were used for injection of Procaine and Prednisolone Acetate, once every 7 days and with 3～4 sessions being a therapeutic course. Results: Following 2 courses of treatment, of the 32 cases in control group, 8 (25.0%) were cured, 17 (53.1%) experienced improvement and 7 failed in the treatment, with a total of effective rate of 78.1%; of the 36 cases in treatment group, 18 (50.0%) were cured, 16 (44.4%) experienced improvement and 2 (5.6%) failed in the treatment, with a total effective rate of 94.4%. The therapeutic effect of contralateral needling is significantly higher than that of Ashi-point blocking method (P<0.05). Conclusion: Contralateral needling is superior to Ashi-point in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis.
