Abstract
Ninety cases of scapulohumeral periarthritis were treated by electroacupuncture plus Tuina and the effective rate was 94.4%. The effective rate was 81.9% in the control group (treated by Frozen Shoulder Decoction added by other herbal drugs) of 83 cases. The result indicated that the treatments of the two groups were effective, but the therapeutic effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group. In the treatment group, the cure rate was higher, the duration of treatment was shorter and the sequelae of conglutination and rigidity of the shoulder joint, muscular atrophy and so on were reduced.
