ABSTRACT
Objective::To explore the clinical efficacy of Magui Wenjingtang combined with joint mobilization in the treatment of periarthritis of the shoulder and the effect on hemodynamics and serum pain media. Method::A total of 120 patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were enrolled in Tianjin Ninghe Hospital from July 2016 to July 2018.All cases were divided into control group and observation group, with 60 patients in each group. The control group received shoulder joint loosening operation (qd), and celecoxib capsules for oral administration. The observation group was treated with Magui Wenjingtang in addition to the shoulder joint loosening operation, 1 dose/d, 2 times/d. After 4 weeks of continuous treatment, the subjects were compared for the subjective pain level McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) score, shoulder mobility hemodynamic changes, and serum prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), substance P (SP), serotonin (5-HT) level and clinical efficacy. Result::Compared with before treatment, visual pain score (VAS), current pain status (PPI), and pain rating index (PRI) scores of the two groups were significantly lower after 4 weeks of treatment, and those of the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.01). The range of shoulder joint activity was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), fibrinogen (Fb), whole blood viscosity and serum were compared between the two groups after 4 weeks of treatment and before treatment. The levels of PGE2, SP and 5-HT were significantly lower (P<0.01), and the observation group was significantly better than the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.61%(57/59), which was significantly higher than 82.76% (48/58) of the control group(χ2=4.685, P<0.05). Conclusion::Magui Wenjingtang combined with shoulder joint loosening operation in treating periarthritis of shoulder with syndrome of blood deficiency and cold coagulation can effectively improve the pain and shoulder joint mobility, increase the curative effect, and improve the hemodynamics, and down-regulatie pain mediator of PGE2, SP, 5-HT, which may be related to the curative effect.
