The therapeutic effects were evaluated after two courses of treatment. Results： The total efficacy rate was 96.0% in the treatment group and 74.0% in the control group. X^2 test showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the total efficacy rate between the two groups （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Acupuncture plus Tuina therapy is superior to simple acupuncture in treating supraspinatus tendinitis.
