Methods： One hundred patients with supraspinatus tendinitis were randomly allocated to two groups. The treatment group of 50 cases was treated with acupuncture plus Tuina therapy and the control group of 50 cases, with simple acupuncture. Treatment was given once daily, 10 times as a course. 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.展开更多
