Abstract
Purpose: To observe the therapeutic effect of Tuina plus meridian therapeutic apparatus on scapulohumeral periarthritis.

Results: Certain therapeutic effects had been achieved in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis in the two groups. But, there is an obvious difference (P<0.01) in the curative rate between the observation group and control group, and the curative rated was remarkably higher in the observation group than in the control group.
