Abstract:Objective To evaluate the Clinical effect of scapular nerve block com- bined with TEAS in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis. Methods Nine- ty cases of scapulohumeral periarthritis, aged 18-65 years old, gender not limited,we- re divided into 3 groups(n=30)using a random number table:scapular nerve block group(group A),scapular nerve block plus TEAS group(group B),scapular nerve block plus sham TEAS group(group S).Subscapular nerve block was performed in group A.Subscapular nerve block and true TEAS were performed simultaneously in group B.Subscapular nerve block and sham TEAS were performed simultaneously in group S.Treatment is once every 2 days, 6 times for a course of treatment, a total of two courses.Each groups' sense of pain and the change of the shoulder joint function of ASES were observed and recorded before treatment (T0),1 day after the treatment (T1), 3 days after the treatment (T2), 5 days after the treatment (T3), 7 days after the treatment (T4), 9 days after the treatment (T5), 11 days after the treatment (T6), at the end of the second course (T7) , and patient's satisfaction was compared at the end of two courses treatment. Results Compared with group A,the VAS of pain were de- creased and the shoulder joint function of ASES were increased in group B,and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group S.ComPar- ed with group S,the VAS of pain were decreased and the shoulder joint function of ASES were increased in group B.At the end of two courses treatment,patient's satis- faction in group B was higher than that in group A and group S. Conclusion Sca- pular nerve block combined with TEAS in the treatment of scapulohumeral peri- arthritis has better treatment effects and can easily be accepted by patients.
