〔Abstract〕 Objective To analyze the clinical effect of New Shentong Zhuyu decoction combined with acupuncture on subacromial impingement syndrome treated with acromioplasty. Methods Eighty cases of patients with subacromial impingement syndrome who underwent acromioplasty treatment in Wanzai County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2021 to June 2022 were selected, and the patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 40 patients in each group. The control group patients were treated with New Shentong Zhuyu decoction, while the observation group patients were treated with New Shentong Zhuyu decoction combined with acupuncture. The clinical efficacy of different treatment methods on patients after surgery were compared. Results After treatment, the scores of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom quantification and visual analogue scale (VAS) of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the University of California at LosAngeles shoulder rating scal (UCLA) score was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The total effective of the observation group was 97.50 %, which was higher than 82.00 % of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion New Shentong Zhuyu decoction combined with acupuncture on subacromial impingement syndrome treated with acromioplasty can reduce the postoperative pain and improve their clinical symptoms, and speed up the recovery of shoulder joint function.
