METHOD OF TREATING MUSCULAR-PAINFUL FORM OF SCAPULOHUMERAL PERIARTHROSIS Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A61H39/06 A61H39/08 A61N5/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to reflexotherapy, neurology, physiotherapy, medical rehabilitation, and can be used for treating a musculo-pain form of scapulohumeral periarthrosis. First, auricular reflex therapy is performed by fixing needle-buttons on the dominant auricle on auricular points (AP) AP-13, AP-51, AP-64, AP-65, AP-55, AP-63, AP-37, AP-39, AP- 101, AP-102, AP-103, AP-107, AP-108. Therapeutic course is 8 days. Then acupuncture needles are inserted into acupuncture points (APP) depending on localization of pains. If pain is localized in the upper external region of the anterior thoracic wall, the anterior external surface of the shoulder joint and in the upper one-third of the anterior external surface of the shoulder, APP acupuncture is performed: P7 (lieque), C9 (shaochong), P2 (yunmen), P3 (tianfu), P4 (xiabai) on 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 days and points IG3 (houxi), V62 (shenmai), V59 (fuyang), P2 (yunmen), P3 (tianfu), P4 (xiabai) on 2, 8 days. If pain is localized in the upper one-third of the posterior external surface of the shoulder, the external surface of the shoulder joint, APP acupuncture is performed: GI6 (pianli), VB44 (zuqiaoyin), GI14 (binao), GI15 (jianyu), GI16 (jugu) on 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 days and APT: V62 (shenmai), V59 (fuyang), GI14 (binao), GI15 (jianyu), GI16 (jugu) on 2, 8 days. In case of localization of pains on posteromedial surface of joint, shoulder girdle and posterior cervical region, APP acupuncture is performed: TR5 (waiguan), IG1 (shaoze), IG9 (jianzhen), IG10 (naoshu), IG14 (jianwaishu) on 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 days and points IG3 (houxi), V59 (fuyang), IG9 (jianzhen), IG10 (naoshu), IG14 (jianwaishu) on 2 and 8 days. In addition to the action on the above points, the acupuncture needles are placed in the points V11 (dazhu), V12 (fengmen), V13 (feishu), V14 (jueyinshu), V15 (xinshu), V16 (dushu), V17 (geshu), V41 (fufen), V42 (pohu), V43 (gaohuang), V44 (shentang), V45 (yixi), V46 (geguan) from 1st to 8th day. 20 minutes after the reflex therapy needles are placed in the APP, light-and-heat therapy is performed with power of 100-300 W, the wavelength of the near-infrared (IR) radiation is 780-1,400 nm, the therapeutic course is 8 daily procedures of 10 minutes. During light-and-heat therapy of AP and APP, reflex therapy needles and push-button needles are left on the patient’s body; upon completion of the light-heat therapy procedure, the reflex therapy needles are removed from the APP.

EFFECT: method provides higher therapeutic effect due to reduced dysfunction of antinociceptive system and muscular-tonic syndrome, enhanced local tissue microcirculation, manifested anti-inflammatory action and acceleration of reverse development of inflammatory processes, increase of tissue regeneration and local resistance of tissues, removal of spasm of muscles of scapulohumeral region, as well as reduction of aggravation period.
