Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) is a new acupuncture therapy developed from acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine models. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of FSN on shoulder pain. In this retrospective comparative study, patient case files with shoulder pain (Group A) treated with FSN were analyzed and compared with the same number of patients with shoulder pain (Group B) treated with conventional acupuncture and physical therapy. Motion-related pain (MRP), pain under pressure (PUP), and Range of motion (ROM) were collected before and after intervention. In the 68 patients, there were 39 males and 29 females, aged 21-53 years old (mean ± SD = 36.4 ± 8.15) with onset time ranging from 1 day to 7 days (mean ± SD = 3.15 ± 1.73). MRP, PUP, and ROM scores were improved after FSN intervention (p < .05). There were significant differences between group A and group B in MRP, PUP, and ROM scores after FSN intervention and 1 week follow-up (p < .05). No adverse events, such as fainting and sharp pain, occurred during the treatment process. FSN can be an effective rehabilitation intervention for improving shoulder pain and shoulder range of motion.
浮针是在针灸和中国传统医学基础上发展起来的一种新的针刺疗法。本研究的目的是探讨浮针(FSN)治疗肩痛的效果。本研究中A组患者(34例)采用浮针治疗, 与相同数量的常规针灸结合物理治疗的肩痛患者(B组)进行匹配比较。我们对所有肩痛患者在干预前后进行相关疼痛(MRP)、压力下疼痛(PUP)和运动范围(ROM)指标评估。在68例患者中, 男性有39例, 女性有29例, 年龄在21-53岁(平均值±标准差=36.4±8.15)。肩痛发病时间为1-7天(平均值±标准差=3.15±1.73)。本研究结果发现, MRP、PUP、ROM评分干预后均有改善(P<0.05)。A组和B组干预及随访后MRP、PUP、ROM评分差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。患者在整个治疗过程中未发生晕厥、剧痛等不良事件。本研究提示, 在缓解肩关节疼痛和改善肩关节活动范围方面, 浮针可能是一种比传统康复干预更有效的方法。.
