针刺条口治疗肩周炎随机对照观察

目的：研究条口穴基础主治。方法：根据多中心、随机对照、单盲（研究者、操作者、统计者三分离）的临床试验原则，将257例肩周炎病例分为两组。试验组124例，口服消炎止痛药联合针刺条口穴；对照组133例，单纯口服消炎止痛药。对比两组的临床疗效。结果：镇痛疗效方面，试验纽总有效率为96．0％，对照组为91．7％，两组疗效差异有非常显著性意义（P〈0．01）；肩部功能活动改善方面，试验组总有效率为86.3％，对照组为59．4％，两组疗效差异有非常显著性意义（P〈0．01）。结论：针刺加口服消炎止痛药治疗肩周炎疗效显著，取效迅速，安全舒适，其疗效优于单纯服用消炎止痛药。

Randomized controlled trials of acupuncture at Tiaokou (ST 38) for treatment of periarthritis of shoulder

OBJECTIVE: To study the basic therapeutic function of Tiaokou (ST 38). METHODS: According to clinically multi-central randomized controlled and single-blind test principle, 257 cases of periarthritis of shoulder were divided into two groups, a test group (n = 124) treated with oral anti-inflammatory analgesic medicine combined with acupuncture at Tiaokou (ST 38), and a control group (n = 133) treated with oral anti-inflammatory analgesic medicine. Their therapeutic effects were compared. RESULTS: The total effective rate for stopping pain was 96.0% in the test group and 91.7% in the control group with a very significant difference between the two groups (P< 0.01). And the total effective rate for improvement of shoulder activity was 86.3% in the test group and 59.4% in the control group with a very significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Oral anti-inflammatory analgesic medicine combined with acupuncture has obvious therapeutic effect on periarthritis of shoulder, which is better than that of simple oral anti-inflammatory analgesic medicine.
