“肩三针”“龙虎交战法”治疗肩凝症的临床研究

A clinical study on treating frozen shoulder by acupuncture at the Jiansanzhen acupoints plus the Longhu Jiaozhan therapy

目的:观察“肩三针”“龙虎交战法”治疗肩凝症的临床疗效。方法:按照随机对照原则,将70例肩凝症患者随机分为两组,一组采用“肩三针”“龙虎交战法”针刺手法治疗(简称治疗组),一组采用“肩三针”平补平泻针刺手法治疗(简称对照组),观察两组疗效和治疗前后临床症状、体征的变化。结果:治疗组总有效率明显高于对照组,两组比较有显著性差异(P<0.05),治疗组的临床疗效优于对照组。两组治疗后症状体征积分较治疗前有显著差异(P<0.05),治疗组在改善症状、体征上优于对照组。结论:两种治疗方法都能改善肩凝症患者的临床症状、体征及疼痛情况,但“肩三针”“龙虎交战法”的效果更优。

Objective:To observe the clinical effects of acupuncture at the Jiansanzhen acupoints(肩三针穴)plus the Longhu Jiaozhan therapy(龙虎交战法)on frozen shoulder.Methods:According to the random control principle,70 cases were randomly divided into two groups.One group was treated by acupuncture at the Jiansanzhen acupoints plus the Longhu Jiaozhan therapy(namely the treatment group),and the other group was treated by acupuncture at the Jiansanzhen acupoints(namely the control group).Results:The total efficiency in the treatment group was obviously higher than that in the control group,with a significant difference between the groups(P<0.05).The clinical efficacy in the treatment group was better than the control group.There was a significant difference in the clinical symptoms and signs before and after treatment between the groups(P<0.05).The treatment group was better than the control group in ameliorating clincal symptoms and signs.Conclusion:Both groups can ameliorate the clinical symptoms and signs,and pain of patients with frozen shoulder,but the effect of acupuncture at the Jiansanzhen acupoints plus the Longhu Jiaozhan therapy is better.
