Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the analgesic effect of electroacupuncture combined with parafin on cervical scapulohumeral syndrome patients due to cervical spondylosis. Subjects:  60 cervical scapulohumeral syndrome patients due to cervical spondylosis were treated at Internal Medicine Department 4, Department of Acupuncture and Rehabilitation in Traditional Medicine Ministry of Public Security from September 2020 to August 2021. Methods: Controlled clinical trials: 30 patients of the study group were administered electroacupuncture combined with paraffin, 30 patients of the control group were administered electroacupuncture. Results: After 15 days of treatment, the mean’s VAS value of the study group decreased from 5.5 ± 1.38 to 1.9 ± 0.8, the mean’s VAS value of the control group decreased from 5.3 ± 1.53 to 4.0 ± 1.31. The difference before and after treatment of the 2 groups was significant with p < 0.05. VAS pain reduction efficiency of the study group at the time of D7 (1.90 ± 0.62 points) and D15 (3.6 ± 1.00 points) was higher than the control group at the same time with p<0.05. Conclusions: Electroacupuncture combined with paraffin had the efficacy in reducing pain of cervical spine on cervical scapulohumeral syndrome patients due to cervical spondylosis. The difference was statistically significant compared with the control group.
