Objectives : To observe the effect of acupuncture treatment on Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging(DITI) in frozen shoulder patients. Methods : 17 voluntary patients received acupuncture treatment on LI15, TE14, GB21 and Master Dong's acupuncture points, Shin-gwan and Gyun-joong, twice a week for 4 weeks. The patients were instructed to practice self exercise during their daily lives. Evaluations were made before treatment, after 1 week of treatment, after 2 weeks, 3 weeks and after 4 weeks of treatment. Constant Shoulder Assessment(CSA), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI), Range of Motion(ROM) and the patient's satisfaction concerning the treatment was measured by Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). DITI was measured before treatment and after 4weeks of treatment. The obtained data was analyzed. Results : CSA, SPADI, VAS, adduction and extension showed significant(p<0.05) improvement. Abduction and flexion both improved after 4 weeks of treatment, but the improvement was statistically insignificant(p>0.05). DITI showed improvement but the improvement was insignificant(p>0.05). Conclusion : 4 weeks of acupuncture treatment significantly improved CSA, SPADI, VAS, adduction and extension in frozen shoulder patients(p<0.05). The improvement of abduction and flexion after 4 weeks of acupuncture treatment was insignificant(p>0.05). DITI results improved after 4 weeks of acupuncture treatment. But the change of thermal difference was insignificant(p>0.05).

Disorders of the shoulder in which conservative management is indicated as a primary treatment include idiopathic frozen shoulder, atraumatic instability. acute calcific tendinitis , subacromial impingement syndrome, partial thickness or small full thickness tear of the rotator cuff, and chronic rotator cuff tear in elderly population. Aside from medication and various physical modalities used for relief of pain, the mainstay of orthopaedic rehabilitation consists of stretching of the tendons and capsulologamentous complex, and strengtnening of rotator cuff muscles as well as surrounding muscles. However, orthopaedic rehabilitation in chronically painful conditions of the shoulder differs in detail according to the specific diseases or injuries, And it is important to make the rehabilitation program that can be undertaken by the patients rather than adhering to a fixed schedule. Also the program should be changed as the condition of the patient improves or deteriorates. Nevertheless there are basic rules of stretching and strengthening , which should always be observed in applying orthopaedic rehabilitation treatment.

Objectives: Frozen shoulder (FS) is one of the most challenging shoulder disorders for patients and clinicians. Its symptoms mainly include any combination of stiffness, nocturnal pain, and limitation of active and passive glenohumeral joint movement. Conventional treatment options for FS are physical therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, injection therapy, and arthroscopic capsular release, but adverse and limited effects continue to present problems. As a result, pharmacoacupuncture (PA) is getting attention as an alternative therapy for patients with FS. PA is a new form of acupuncture treatment in traditional Korean medicine (TKM) that is mainly used for musculoskeletal diseases. It has similarity and specificity compared to corticosteroid injection and hydrodilatation, making it a potential alternative injection therapy for FS. However, no systematic reviews investigating the utilization of PA for FS have been published. Therefore, this review aims to standardize the clinical use of PA for FS and validate its therapeutic effect. Methods: The protocol was registered in Prospero (CRD42023445708) on 18 July 2023. Until Aug. 31, 2023, seven electronic databases will be searched for randomized controlled trials of PA for FS. Authors will be contacted, and manual searches will also be performed. Two reviewers will independently screen and collect data from retrieved articles according to predefined criteria. The primary outcome will be pain intensity, and secondary outcomes will be effective rate, Constant-Murley Score, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, range of motion, quality of life, and adverse events. Bias and quality of the included trials will be assessed using the Cochrane handbook's risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. Meta analyses will be conducted using Review Manager V.5.3 software. GRADE will be used to evaluate the level of evidence for each outcome. Results: This systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted following PRISMA statement. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Conclusion: This review will provide scientific evidence to support health insurance policy as well as the standardization of PA in clinical practice.

The purpose of the present study was to the investigate the effect of sports massage, kaltenborn-evjenth orthopedic manipulative therapy and electrical therapy, general exercise on the limitation of range of motion(ROM) and on the pain(VAS) in patients with frozen shoulder. Fiftheen frozen shoulder patients between 50 and 60 years of age(females) were selected and were divided equally by random distribution into A group(sports massage, kaltenborn-evjenth orthopedic manipulative therapy, N=7)and B(electrical therapy, general exercise therapy, N=7) group. The results obtained were as follows : 1) The range of motion between two groups are significantly different in the treatment times, the ROM of A group increase in after-treatment(2 week 4 week) in comparison with ROM in before-treatment, it is significant increase. And it is significant difference in B group. 2) The pain level between two groups are not significantly different in the treatment times, the pain level of A group decrease in after-treatment(2 week, 4 week) in comparison with before-treatment, it is significant decrease. And it is significant difference in B group. Although the pain level of the A group decrease in after 2 week treatment in comparison with before-treatment but it is not significant decrease. Although the pain level of the B group decrease in after 4 week treatment in comparison with after 2 week treatment, but it is not significant decrease. 3) The A group is more effective in increasing the ROM and decreasing the pain level than B group during treatment times. The results showed that both A group method and B group method are effective ROM increase and pain reduce, but A group method is superior to B group method in ROM increase and pain reduce.

Background: This study examined the effects of nerve mobilization exercise and scapula postural correction exercise and scapula postural correction exercise after applying conservative physical therapy to frozen shoulder. Methods: Thirty-four outpatients were divided into a nerve mobilization exercise and scapula postural correction exercise group and scapula postural correction exercise group. Each group performed its own exercise 30 minutes per day, three times per week, for 6 weeks. Pain intensity was measured by the visual analogue scale. Range of motion was measured by the goniometer. The scapular position was measured by scapular index. Grasping power was measured by the Grip Track Commander. Measurements were made at baseline and six weeks after the intervention. Results: the visual analogue scale, range of motion (except lateral rotation), and grasping power for each group showed significant changes at baseline and six weeks after the intervention (p<.05). Significant differences were also evident between the two groups for these three measurements (p<.05). Conclusions: Nerve mobilization exercise & scapula postural correction exercise is more effective than scapula postural correction exercise for reducing pain intensity and increasing grasping power, scapular index and range of motion (except lateral rotation) in frozen shoulder syndrome patients.

목적: 경피 Buprenorphine 제제는 보존적 치료의 한 방법으로 이용 범위를 넓히고 있으나 정형외과의 세분화된 영역에서의 통증 조절 효과에 대한 연구는 많지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 견관절 통증을 호소하는 동결기의 동결견 환자에게 투여한 경피 Buprenorphine 제제의 통증 조절 효과에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2013년 3월에서 9월 사이의 기간 동안 5~6개월 이상 견관절 통증이 지속되고 운동범위의 제한이 확인되었으나 자기공명 영상 검사나 초음파 진단 검사상 가능한 다른 병리적 소견이 발견되지 않아 최종적으로 동결기 상태의 동결견으로 진단 받은 총 127명의 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 모든 환자들은 관절와-상완 관절 내 스테로이드 주사요법을 1회 시행 받았다. 첫 외래 방문 이후 2~4주 후 전화를 통한 설문을 시행하였으며 전체 127명의 대상 환자 중 22명의 환자가 전화 설문을 거부하여 최종 105명의 환자가 대상이 되었으며 이중 경구 NSAID 제제와 함께 경피 Buprenorphine 제제를 처방 받은 실험군(BP group)은 51명, 경구 NSAID 제제 만을 처방 받은 대조군(NP group)은 54명이었다. 치료 효과의 평가를 위하여 첫 외래 방문 시 및 전화 설문 시 시각적 통증 점수(PVAS), 시각적 기능 점수(FVAS), 미국 정형외과 견주관절 점수(ASES score)를 측정하였다. 결과: 전반적인 통증 및 기능 임상 점수에서 양 군 동일하게 투여 전 보다 투여 후에 호전되는 추세를 보였다. 각군의 평가 점수들의 투여 후 결과는 투여 전과 비교하여 통계적으로 의미 있게 호전되었다(p<0.001). PVAS 점수는 BP group에서 3.55, NP group 에서 2.87로 BP group에서 오히려 0.68 높은 것으로 관찰되었으나 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다(p=0.088). 투여 전 ASES 점수는 두 군간 차이를 보이지 않았던 반면 투여 후 점수는 BP group에서 57.31, NP group에서 64.24로 NP group에서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 반면 FVAS 는 두군 모두 호전되는 추세는 보였으며 역시 NP group에서 높았으며 투여 후 점수에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 결론: 동결기의 동결견 환자에게 1회 관절 내 스테로이드 주사치료 및 경구 NSAID 제제에 추가로 투여한 경피 Buprenorphine 제제는 단기 추시에서 투여하지 않은 경우보다 우월한 통증 및 기능적 임상 결과를 보이지 않았다.
