Abstract
    [Objective] To evaluate the effect of rapid needling to myofascial trigger points(MTrPs) of subscapular muscle combined acupuncture on the range of motion,pain and function of shoulder joint in patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis.[Methods] The 50 patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were randomly divided into two groups with 25 cases in each group. The trail concluded with rapid needling of MTrPs combined acupuncture and acupuncutere,which contains two stage. The main observe measures were as follows:1)Degree of glenohumeral external rotation immediately after treatment. 2)Degree of glenohumeral external rotation after two courses of treatment,Constant-Murley score of shoulder joint.[Results] Before treatment,there was no significant difference in glenohumeral external rotation between the two groups and Constant-Murleyt of shoulder (P>0.05). After the first stage, the degree of glenohumeral external rotation was improved in both groups(P<0.05) besides,the improvement of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). The degree of glenohumeral external rotation and Constant-Murley score were improved in both groups after the first treatment,and the improvement of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05).[Conclusion] Rapid needling to MTrPs of subscapular muscle combined acupuncture shows the effect of increasing the degree of external rotation of shoulder joint,improving the constant score of shoulder joint,showing immediate and lasting effect.
