Abstract
Objectives : This report is to compare Remote Acupuncture Point Needling group with Trigger Point Needling group about Shoulder pain treatment. Methods : From November 11th 2006 to May 10th 2007, 30 cases of shoulder pain patients were divided into 2 groups ; one group(test I group) took remote acupuncture point needling, and the other group(test II group) took trigger point needling. For evaluating change of pain, Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and clinical evaluation grade and Range of Motion was checked before and after Treatment. Results : Both acupuncture therapy showed good effect on shoulder pain. And test II group showed better effect on decreasing pain than test I group. It was proved by the difference between VAS and ROM checked before treatment and what checked after treatment. But it was only significant statistically for adduction, inversion and eversion of shoulder joint motion. Conclusion : Trigger point needling can be recommended as a useful therapy to treat shoulder pain.
