Clinical study on Pizhen therapy of cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome of neck and shoulder

Objective:To analysis the pathogenesis of cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome and mechanism of Pizhen therapy.Methods:Seventy-eight patients suffered from cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome were treated with Pizhen.The age ranged from nineteen to sixty-three,the average was 39 8.Among them,there were thirty-five male and forty-three female.There were 18 patients suffered from occipitalis major nerve entrapment syndrome,five from occipitalis minor nerve entrapment syndrome,twenty-seven from suprascapularis nerve entrapment syndrome,four from transversal colli nerve entrapment syndrome,twenty-four from subscapularis nerve entrapment syndrome.The main symptom of cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome was the pain of neck and shoulder.The effect was evaluated by change of symptom.Results:Among all patients,fifty-four were fully recovered,sixteen were significant effective,eight were effective.Conclusion:Pizhen therapy can decrease the tensility of fascia,release the adhesion,eliminate the cicatrix,and relieve the pressure and stimulation of sensory nerve ending.
