Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of acupotomy combined with fomentation for scapulohumeral periarthritis characterized by qi stagnation and blood stasis.
Retrospective analysis of 70 patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis at Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2023 to December 2024.
Participants were divided into control (n=35) and observation (n=35) groups; the control received fomentation, while the observation group also received acupotomy treatment.
Both groups were guided in Han's Shoulder Relaxation Exercise, and outcomes were assessed using VAS, CMS, and joint mobility measurements.
The observation group's total effective rate was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).
Both groups showed a reduction in VAS scores post-treatment, with the observation group achieving lower scores (P<0.05).
CMS scores and joint mobility improved in both groups, with the observation group showing greater enhancement (P<0.05).

Retrospective analysis reveals enhanced treatment outcomes in scapulohumeral periarthritis using acupotomy and fomentation.
