Abstract EN
This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of warm needling acupuncture at meridian-sinew sites based on the meridian-sinew theory in the treatment of hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) after stroke.
In total, 124 subjects were randomized into a treatment group and control group.
In the treatment group, warm needling therapy and acupuncture at meridian-sinew sites based on the meridian-sinew theory were performed.
In the control group, usual care therapy was applied.
The visual analog scale (VAS) score, range of motion (ROM), and Barthel index (BI) were used to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
At 2 weeks of treatment, the VAS score, ROM, and BI had obviously changed from baseline in the two groups (P < 0.01).
The changes in the VAS score and ROM in the treatment group were significantly greater than those in the control group (P < 0.01).
At the 3-month follow-up after treatment, the changes in the treatment group were significantly greater than those in the control group (P < 0.01).
This study indicates that warm needling therapy with acupuncture at meridian-sinew sites based on the meridian-sinew theory is effective for HSP.
