ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of different needling retaining times in clinical curative effect of acupuncture on the treatment of periarthritis humeroscapularis.Methods A total of 60 patients, who met the inclusion criteara, were randomly divided into 2 groups according to random number table method, 30 patients in each group. Both groups were treated with the same acupuncture therapy for 20 times, but the needling retaining times were different as 20 minutes and 40 minutes. The curative effect rates, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Constant-Murley Score (CMS) were evaluated.Results After the treatment, the VAS scoresin 40mins group was significantly lower than that in the 20 mins group (2.67 ± 1.03vs.3.60 ± 1.48,t=-3.251, P<0.01); the CMSin 40 mins group was significantly higher than the 20 mins group (73.20 ± 10.88vs.66.47 ± 12.62,t=-2.199,P<0.05). The curative effect rates of the 40 mins group was 26.7% (8/30), which was significantly higher than 3.3% (1/30) in the 20 mins group (χ2=4.706,P=0.030). The total effective rates in the 40 mins group was 90.0% (27/30), which was significantly higher than 96.7% (29/30) in the 20 mins group (χ2=0.268,P=0.605).Conclusions Acupuncture treatment for the patients with periarthritis humeroscapularis showed that the 40 minutes of needling retaining times had better symptom improvement and restore function effects than 20 minutes, however the total effective rate was no significant difference.
