ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of fire-needle therapy in treating scapulohumeral periarthritis, and to observe the changes of pain score and the motor function of shoulder joint. Method Totally 180 patients were randomized into a fire-needle therapy group of 90 cases and a filiform needle group of 90 cases by randomized single-blinded method. Result There were significant differences between the two groups in comparing the recovery rate, motor function of shoulder joint, and the relapse rate 30 d after the whole intervention (P0.05).
