Abstract:

Objective To observe the clinical effect of Radiofrequency Acupotomy combined with Ozone injection into Articular Cavity in the treatment of hemiplegic shoulder pain. Methods 70 cases of patient with hemiplegic shoulder pain in the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to May 2021 were selected and randomly divided into control group（35 cases）and treatment group （35 cases）. Control group of patients were treated with Acupotomy. Treatment group of patients were treated with Radiofrequency Acupotomy combined with Ozone injection. After the treatment，clinical efficacy was evaluated，and VAS scores，FMA scores and ADL scores before and after the treatment in the two groups were compared. Results After treatment，the clinical efficacies in the control and treatment groups were 77.14% and 91.43%. The effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group（P < 0.05）. The VAS scores in two groups were significantly decreased（P < 0.05）. The FMA scores and ADL scores were significantly increased（P < 0.05）. The scores of the treatment group were better than that of the control group（P < 0.05）. The levels of TNF⁃α，IL⁃1β and hs ⁃CRP in two groups were significantly decreased（P < 0.05）. All the above ⁃mentioned indices in treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group （P < 0.05）.
