Effect of Modified Guizhi Fuzi Tang Combined with Intermediate Frequency Induction Therapy in Treating Scapulohumeral Periarthritis with Cold Dampness
Objective: To discuss the analgesic effect of modified Guizhi Fuzi Tang combined with intermediate frequency induction therapy in treating scapulohumeral periarthritis with cold dampness
and the mechanism of action on recovery of shoulder joint function. Method: One hundred and thirty-six patients were randomly divided into control group (68 cases) and observation group (68 cases) by random number table. Both groups took shoulder functional exercise according to guide. Patients in control group were also provided intermediate frequency induction therapy in continuous mode
20 min/time
1 time/day
6 times/week. And patients in observation group were also given modified Guizhi Fuzi Tang combined with intermediate frequency induction therapy
20 min/time
1 time/day
6 times/week. Pain was evaluated by MeGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ). Shoulder joint function was scored by Constant-Murley. Daily activities were evaluated by American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons' Form (ASES) shoulder joint function evaluation scale. Before and after treatment
levels of substance P (SP)
interleukin-10 (IL-10)
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were detected. And cold dampness was scored. Result: The total rate of clinical effect in observation group was 95.31%
which was higher than 81.97% in control group (P<0.05). The three dimensions of SF-MPQ and the total score and cold dampness in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.01). And scores of pain
activities of daily living and range of motion and the total scores in observation group were higher than those in control group (P<0.01). After treatment
levels of SP
TNF-α and PGE2 were lower than those in control group (P<0.01)
and level of IL-10 was higher than that in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: In addition to functional exercise
modified Guizhi Fuzi Tang combined with intermediate frequency induction therapy can relieve pain
ameliorate cold dampness
improve function of joint and joint range of motion
and the mechanism of action may be regulating inflammatory mediators and reducing levels of SP and PGE2.
