Methods： A total of 182 cases of scapulohumeral periarthritis were randomized into treatment group （100 cases） and control group （ 82 cases）; those in treatment group were managed by “Heguci” （合谷刺 muscle needling） at the reactionary spot of focus （found out via palpation around the shoulder region） in combination with reinforcing needling manipulation of “Setting the Mountain on Fire” and topical massage; whereas, those in control group treated by conventional method of “selecting aoupoints E Jianqian （肩前 extra point）, Jianyu （肩髃 LI 15）, Jianliao （肩髎 TE 14）, etc] along the course of the affected meridians in combination with massage”. The treatment was given once daily, with 10 sessions being a therapeutic course, 20 sessions altogether. Results： Of the 100 cases and 82 cases in control and treatment groups, 36 （43.90%） and 69 （69.00%） were cured, 42 （51.21% ） and 26 （26.00%） improved, 4 （4.87%） and 5 （5.00%） failed, with the total effective rates being 95.13% and 95.00% respectively. The average treatment sessions of control and treatment groups were 16.32±4.24 and 9.66±8.44 separately. The curative rate of treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group and the rumber of the therapeutic sessions required of the former group was evidently fewer than that of the later group （ P 〈 0.01 ）. Conclusion： The therapeutic effect of “Heguci” combined with massage is significantly superior to that of conventional acupuncture plus massage in the treatment of middle and late stages of scapulohumeral periarthritis.展开更多

Methods: Ninety elderly patients with functional constipation were randomized into two groups. Forty-six patients in the treatment group were intervened by warm needling plus tuina; the other forty-four patients in the control group were intervened by San Huang tablet. Results: In the treatment group, 19 patients were cured, 24 cases showed improvement, 3 cases failed, and the total effective rate was 93.5%; in the control group, 16 patients were cured, 18 cases showed improvement, 10 cases failed, and the total effective rate was 77.3%. There was a significant difference in comparing the therapeutic efficacy(P<0.05), and the therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group. Conclusion: Warm needling plus tuina can produce a higher therapeutic efficacy than taking San Huang tablet in treating senile functional constipation.展开更多
