Abstract

Objectives: Evaluating the effectiveness of relieving pain and improving shoulder range of motion by using “Ngu trao” herb compress combined with electro-acupuncture and acupressure in periarthritis humeroscapularis patients. Subjects and methods: Randomized controlled clinical trial, comparing after and before treatment on 60 patients 60 patients with periarthritis shoulder were treated at Da Nang Traditional Medicine Hospital, divided into 2 groups: study group (30 patients) treated by “Ngu trao” herb compress combined with electro-acupuncture and acupressure.

Results: “Ngu trao” herb compress combined with electro-acupuncture and acupressure has the clear effect of improving the level of pain and significantly increasing the range of motion of the shoulder joint after treatment compared to before treatment (p < 0,05), in detail: Pain level decreased from 5,90 ± 1,42 to 1,47 ± 1,68, shoulder abduction from 86,43⁰ ± 22,12⁰ increased to 154,50⁰ ± 18,91⁰, internal rotation from 47,50⁰ ± 11,35⁰ increased to 81,53⁰ ± 7,57⁰, external rotation from 50,17⁰ ± 9,78⁰ increased to 84,23⁰ ± 5,62⁰. The improvement in range of shoulder joint motion in the study group was also significantly higher (p < 0,05) than in the control group. Conclusion: Using “Ngu trao” herb compress combined with electro-acupuncture and acupressure have good effective in reducing pain, increasing the range of motion of shoulder in periathritis shoulder patients.
