Clinical study on treatment of shoulder periarthritis with electro-acupuncture on point Jianyu (LI 15)

Objective: To compare the curative efficacy and safety of electro-acupuncture on Jianyu (LI 15) with oral administration of Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-release Capsules in treating shoulder periarthritis. Method: Randomized controlled trials (RCT) were adopted in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups, 30 cases in one group. Electroacupuncture was done on Jianyu (LI 15) 20 min every time in the treatment group, while 75 mg Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-release Capsules were orally administered in the control group. For all the patients in two groups, one treatment course contains 7 days. Then the curative efficacy was evaluated by the efficacy evaluation criteria after two consecutive courses. Result: The total effective rate of treatment group and control group were 93.3% and 56.7% respectively. Conclusion: Electroacupuncture on Jianyu (LI 15) is an effective therapy for shoulder periarthritis and has more significant effect than oral Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-release Capsules.
