Methods: Sixty-three SP patients were intervened by bucca once every day, 5 sessions as a course, with a 2-3 d interval after 3 courses of treatment. acupuncture plus exercise therapy. The treatment was given between two courses. The therapeutic efficacy was observed Results: Thirty-five patients were recovered, 23 cases were improved, while 5 cases showed ineffective, and the total effective rate was 92.2%. Conclusion: Buccal acupuncture plus exercise therapy can produce a significant efficacy in treating SP, and thus is worth promotion in clinic.展开更多

Patients in the observation group received FSN treatment while those in the control group received conventional acupuncture treatment. Visual analogue scale(VAS) and range of motion(ROM) were observed before and after the treatment, and the therapeutic efficacy was also evaluated.Results: After the treatment, the VAS scores decreased significantly in the two groups, and the VAS score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P〈0.01). After the treatment, the ROM increased significantly in both groups(both P〈0.01), and the ROM in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P〈0.01). The recovery rate and the total effective rate in the observation group were respectively 40.0% and 95.0%,significantly higher than 12.5% and 77.5% in the control group(P〈0.01, P〈0.05).Conclusion: FSN can effectively relieve pain and improve the joint motion in treating SP, thus offering a novel option to the treatment of this kind of musculoskeletal disorder.展开更多

It can cause pain and inconvenience to the patient's life, and finally affecting the patients' quality of life. The patients with this disease have self-healing tendencies. Therefore, it is a self-limiting disease, but with longer duration, much pain, and incomplete functional recovery. However, active treatment can shorten the course and promote recovery. We treated 46 cases by acupuncture plus Shi's Twelve- word Life Cultivation Skill^[1] and now report it as follows.展开更多
