RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effectiveness and safety of stick-point sinew-soothing and bone-setting manipulation for scapulohumeral periarthritis. MethodsUsing prospective randomised controlled trial method, 60 cases of patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were collected and randomly divided into 30 cases each in control group and trial group. Both groups of patients were orally treated with celecoxib, on the basis of which the control group was treated with traditional bonesetting manipulation once every other day for 14 days, while the trial group was treated with stick-point sinew-soothing and bone-setting manipulation once every 3~5 days for 14 days. Both groups were treated for 2 courses. The main observation indexes were pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score and shoulder pain and dysfunction index (SPADI), which were evaluated once before treatment and after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment. The secondary effectiveness indicators included the university of California at Los Angeles shoulder rating scale (UCLA), traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score (including symptom scores as joint pain, pain in a fixed place, activity limitation, local stiffness), and serum interleukin (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) levels before and after the treatment, in order to evaluate the clinical effectiveness, and to record the adverse reactions that occurred in the process of diagnosis and treatment. ResultsCompared with the groups before treatment, the pain VAS score, SPADI and scores of joint pain, pain with a fixed place, activity limitation and local stiffness were lower, UCLA score was higher, and serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were lower at 4 weeks of treatment in the two groups (P<0.05). When comparing the two groups between the groups at 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, the pain VAS score, SPADI and TCM scores of each symptom in the study group were lower than those in the control group, the UCLA score was higher than those in the control group (P<0.01), and the serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were lower than those in the control group at 4 weeks of treatment (P<0.01). The clinical effectiveness rate of the study group was 66.67%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group, which was 40.00% (P = 0.038). No adverse reactions were seen in both groups during the study. ConclusionCompared with the traditional massage manipulation, the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis with stick-point sinew-soothing and bone-setting manipulation has more advantages in relieving pain symptoms, reducing inflammatory reaction, and promoting the recovery of shoulder joint function.

Objective:To observe any curative effect of combining hydraulic dilatation with radial extracorporeal shock waves on scapulohumeral periarthritis.Methods:A total of 132 patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were randomly divided into a hydraulic dilatation group, a shock wave group and a combination group. The three treatments were applied for 3 weeks, before and after which shoulder range of motion was evaluated. Shoulder function was quantified using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association′s (JOA′s) shoulder function scoring, pain was reported using a visual analogue scale (VAS), and ability in the activities of daily living (ADL) was also quantified. Serum prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), β-endorphin (β-EP), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were assayed.Results:The treatment response rate of the combination group (95%) was significantly higher than those of the hydraulic dilatation group (70%) and the shock wave group (82%). After the treatment, the average shoulder range of motion, JOA and ADL scores, and β-EP level in all 3 groups had improved significantly, while the average VAS score, and the PGE2, IL-6 and TNF-α levels had decreased significantly, but in each case the improvement in the combination group′s average was significantly greater than those of the other 2 groups. During the treatment there were no such adverse events as intra-articular infection, skin redness, numbness or palpitations.Conclusions:Combining hydraulic dilatation with radial extracorporeal shock waves significantly improves the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis. It can effectively promote the recovery of shoulder function and improve quality of life. Its greater effectiveness may be related to improving levels of PGE2, β-EP, IL-6 and TNF-α, and relieving pain and inflammation.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of "metal hook fishing" (MHF)-like needling technique combined with Tuina manipulation in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis. METHODS: A total of 72 patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were randomly divided into MHF-like needling (MHF) and conventional needling groups (n=36 in each group). For patients of the GHF group, the doctor pressed the acupoint with the left index finger, held the disposable acupuncture needles to insert into the Jianqian, Jianyu (LI15), Jianliao (SJ5), Jianzheng (SJ9) and Ashi-point respectively with the right hand, waited for qi-arriving, twirled the needles forward about 3 to 6 times. When a tightened feeling was achieved beneath the needle tip, the doctor held the needle body to slightly shake it 3 to 6 times which mimicked a fish to swallow a hook, kept the situation for a while till relaxation, followed by retaining the needle for 30 min and then withdrew it slowly. Afterwards, the doctor performed Tuina manipulation at the upper limbs for 20 to 30 min. For patients of the conventional needling group, the same acupoints were needled and stimulated with the uniform reducing and reinforcing method for 1 min, followed by retaining the needles for 30 min. Then, massage was performed for 20 to 30 min in the same way as those in the MHF group. The treatment was conducted once daily, 6 times a week for 2 weeks. After the treatment, the visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the pain degree, the range of motion (ROM) scale of the shoulder joint adopted to assess the function, and the activity of daily living (ADL) scale used to assess the patients' daily living ability. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were evaluated after the treatment. RESULTS: After the treatment, the VAS scores of the two groups were notably decreased (P<0.05), being significantly lower in the GHF group than in the conventional needling group (P<0.05). The ROM score and ADL score of the two groups were obviously increased (P<0.05), being significantly higher in the MHF group than in the conventional needling group (P<0.05). Of the 36 cases in the conventional needling and MHF groups, 7 and 17 were cured, 11 and 12 experienced remarkable improvement, 13 and 4 were improved, and 5 and 3 were ineffective, with the total effective rate being 86.1% (31/36) and 91.7% (33/36), respectively. The total effective rate of MHF group was evidently higher than that of the conventional needling group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Both MHF and conventional needling is effective in relieving scapulohumeral periarthritis, and the effect of MHF is ob-viously superior to that of conventional needling in relieving pain state and improving function of the affected shoulder joint.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of Fuyang-pot warming combined with electroacupuncture (EA) in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis (SPA). METHODS: A total of 90 cases of SPA patients were randomized into EA, Fuyang-pot warming and EA plus Fuyang-pot warming (combination) groups (n=30 per group). Fuyang-pot warming including pressing, mild moxibustion, scraping-pushing, cupping, tapping, etc. was applied to Fengchi (GB20), Dazhui (GV14), Jianjing (GB21), Jianyu (LI15), Zhongfu (LU1), Ashi-point, etc., and EA (2 Hz /100 Hz,1-1.5 mA) was appled to GB20, GV14, GB21, LI15, Binao (LI14), Tiaokou (ST38), Chengshan (BL57), Ashi-point, etc. The treatment was performed for 30 min every time, once every other day for 2 weeks. The visual analogue scale (VAS, 0-10 points) was used to assess the pain severity. The Constant-Murley shoulder assessment scale (100 points in total, including 15 points in pain severity and 20 points in daily living activities, 40 points in joint motion range, and 25 points in myodynamia) was used to assess the functional state of the shoulder. The rating scale of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES, 4 grades) was used to evaluate the ability of daily living activities. RESULTS: Following the treatment, intra-group comparison showed that the VAS score was significantly reduced in the three groups in comparison with their own pre-treatment (P0.05). CONCLUSION: Fuyang-pot warming combined with EA is effective in relieving pain, and enhancing the daily life quality in scapulohumeral periarthritis patients.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the MR features of different clinical staging of scapulohumeral periarthritis and provide relevant support data for the clinical staging of scapulohumeral periarthritis, so as to guide clinical treatment. Methods 30 patients with scapulohumeral periar-thritis received in the hospital from June 2015 to February 2017 were selected to form the observation group and 8 same-sex and same-aged volunteers without such disease were selected to form the control group. MR imaging was used to observe and measure the structure of shoulder joint of the people in the two groups and statistical analysis was performed to analyze the changes in the structure of the shoulder around dif-ferent clinical stages. Results The thickness of joint capsule and coracohumeral ligament ( CHL) , the ratio of subcoracoid fat triangle re-placed were significantly greater in patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis than those in the control group, and the difference was statisti-cally significant (P<0. 05). Comparing the thickness of joint capsule in the third stage of the scapulohumeral periarthritis group compare with those in the first and second stages, the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). There was no statistically significant differ-ence (P>0. 05) in the thickness of the coracohumeral ligament and the ratio of subcoracoid fat triangle replaced in the scapulohumeral peri-arthritis group between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd stages. Conclusion Patients with different stages have different structures around the shoulder joints. The thickness of joint capsule can be used as an important reference for diagnosing scapulohumeral periarthritis and can guide the clin-ical staging. The thickness of coracohumeral ligament and the ratio of subcoracoid fat triangle replaced can be used as a basis for diagnosing scapulohumeral periarthritis, but it cannot be used as a guideline for clinical staging.

RESUMEN
Objective To observe the curative effect of warm needling therapy combined with kidney-supplementing and blood-activating Chinese herbal medicine on patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis and its effects on immunoglobulin IgA, IgG and IgM;To explore the mechanism. Methods Ninety patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were randomly divided into needle with medicine group, needle group and medicine group, 30 cases in each group. Patients in the needle with medicine group were treated with needle warming therapy combined with kidney-supplementing and blood-activating Chinese herbal medicine, patients in the needle group were treated with needle warming therapy, patients in the medicine group were treated with kidney-supplementing and blood-activating Chinese herbal medicine, 30 days for medicine and every other day for acupuncture. Five time acupuncture was one course of treatment, and patients were treated for 3 courses. Shoulder pain index was evaluated, and the levels of IgA, IgG and IgM was determined before and after 3 courses treatment. The total curative effect of the three groups were compared. Results The total effective rates for needle and medicine group, needle group and medicine group were 93.33% (28/30), 73.33% (22/30), 66.67% (20/30), respectively, with statistical significance between needle and medicine group and the other two groups (P0.05). There was statistical significance between the shoulder indexes before and after treatment of the three groups (P<0.05). Before treatment, the levels of IgA, IgG and IgM of all three groups increased significantly compared with the normal reference values (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of IgA, IgG and IgM were reduced significantly in three groups after treatment (P<0.05), the levels of IgA, IgG and IgM in the needle and medicine group were significantly lower than those in the other two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The curative effect of needle warming therapy combined with kidney-supplementing and blood-activating Chinese herbal medicine was better than alone needle warming therapy or kidney-supplementing and blood-activating Chinese herbal medicine. This combined therapy could significantly improve the symptoms of patients, reduce the levels of IgA, IgG and IgM, regulate the body immune function, which is probably one of the mechanisms in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis.
