Summary

This 2023 clinical study investigated the efficacy of combined tendon-regulating and stretching manipulation with JIN's three-needle acupuncture therapy for treating subacromial impingement syndrome. The research assessed effects on pain relief and restoration of shoulder joint function. As suggested by the journal scope, the work contributes to the literature on Traditional Chinese medicine approaches to musculoskeletal conditions, though findings are not directly relevant to agricultural or food systems research.

UK applicability

This clinical study on Traditional Chinese medicine techniques has no direct applicability to UK agricultural systems, soil health, or food production. Its relevance to the Vitagri Pulse Brain catalogue is limited unless used contextually in interdisciplinary analyses of complementary health interventions.

Key measures

Pain scores and shoulder joint function measures (specific metrics not specified in title)

Outcomes reported

The study appears to have evaluated pain reduction and shoulder joint function outcomes in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome treated with combined tendon-regulating stretching manipulation and JIN's three-needle acupuncture therapy.
