冲击波治疗肩周炎的单盲研究

目的：用单盲的研究方法评定冲击波治疗（ESWT）肩周炎的临床效果。方法：选取47例肩周炎患者，将其随机分为两组，其中冲击波治疗组给予冲击波治疗（n=26）,对照组给予关节松动术加短波治疗（n=21）。简化McGill疼痛问卷（short form McGill pain questionaire, SF-MPQ）用来评估患者治疗前，疗程结束时，疗程结束后第1周，第4周，第8周疼痛症状的改变，肩关节功能使用关节活动度（ROM）改变来评估治疗前与疗程结束时的变化。结果：试验结束后，两组患者的疼痛症状较治疗前有

Extracorpereal shock wave therapy for scapulohumeral periarthritis: a single blind study

Objective: To evaluate clinical outcomes of extracorpereal shock wave therapy (ESWT) to scapulohumeral periarthritis in a single blind study. Method: Forty-seven patients with chronic, symptomatic scapulohumeral periarthritis were tested. A single blind controlled study was performed with 26 cases undergone ESWT ( ESWT group ) and 21 treated by joint mobilization combined with shortwave therapy ( control group). Pain and functional assessment were carried out according to the Short Form McGill Pain Questionaire (SF-MPQ) and range of motion (ROM). SF-MPQ was assessed pre-and post-treatment, and at the 1st week, 4th week and 8th week after the course of treatment and ROM was assessed pre- and post-treatment merely. Result:Patients of both groups got obvious relief in shoulder pain and great improvement of ROM, but compared with control group,there was no significant difference in SF-MPQ scores and promotion of ROM in ESWT group. Conclusion: As a good tolerant, safe, and time saving therapy, ESWT can be utilized as an alternative treatment for scapulohumeral periarthritis.
