This study examined whether a needle-free acupuncture can be an alternative to conventional needle injection acupuncture.
Patients (n=101) suffering myofascial shoulder pain were randomly assigned to either needle-free or conventional needle injection acupuncture group. Bee venom was administered into GB21 (Gyeonjeong) acupuncture point for both groups.
Shoulder pain was significantly reduced by the treatment in both groups. Patients treated by needle-free acupuncture reported less anxiety, less discomfort and fewer adverse events. Clinicians reported that needle-free acupuncture was safe but not convenient due to the complexity of the device.
With appropriate adjustments of the current device, needle-free acupuncture can become an alternative to the conventional needle injection method.
本研究探讨无针针灸是否可作为传统针刺注射针灸的替代方法。
将101例患有肌筋膜性肩部疼痛的患者随机分为无针针灸组或传统针刺注射针灸组。两组均在肩井穴（GB21）注射蜂毒。
两组治疗后肩部疼痛均显著减轻。接受无针针灸治疗的患者焦虑程度更低、不适感更少且不良事件更少。临床医生报告称，无针针灸安全，但由于设备复杂，使用不便。
对现有设备进行适当调整后，无针针灸可成为传统针刺注射方法的替代选择。
