@#ObjectiveTo observe the effect of warm needle moxibustion and exercise therapy on scapulohumeral periarthrits.Methods90 scapulohumeral periarthrits cases were randomly divided into the synthetic treatment group and exercise therapy group with 45 cases in each group. Patients of the synthetic treatment group were treated with warm needle moxibustion and exercise therapy, but that of the exercise therapy group only with exercise therapy. Some local acupoints, for example Point LI15 (Jian Yu), Piont SJ14 (Jian Liao), Piont SI9 (Jian Zhen) and so on, were selected when warm needle moxibustion performed. Eexercise therapy includes joint mobilization and initiative function training. One course was 15 days. The effect was evaluated after two courses.ResultsApparent efficiency of synthetic treatment groups was 71% and 42% for exercise therapy groups. There was a significant difference between two groups (χ2=22.815,P<0.01). There was also a obvious difference between two groups in improving range of shoulder joint movement and alleviating extent of shoulder pain (P<0.05).ConclusionWarm needle moxibustion cooperated with exercise therapy can increase cure rate and reduce recrudescence of scapulohumeral periarthrits.
