Methods: 60 patients with cervical and shoulder MPS admitted from May 2018 to May 2019 were randomly divided into catgut embedding group and conventional acupuncture group, with 30 patients in each group, and the patients were treated with point-of-excitation therapy in combination with the pain site. They were divided into catgut embedding group and acupuncture group. After two courses of treatment, the pain improvement of the patients was compared. Results: after treatment, the PRI of catgut embedding group was (1.98±0.98), the acupuncture group was (2.64±1.23), the PPI of catgut embedding group was (0.75±1.15), the acupuncture group was (0.93±1.43), the VAS of catgut embedding group was (2.11±1.67), and the acupuncture group was (3.89±1.21). It can be seen from the above indicators that the improvement of the two groups of patients was better in catgut embedding group, with significant difference. It has statistical significance. Conclusion: embedding method and acupuncture method have good therapeutic effect on neck and shoulder MPS, and there is no significant statistical difference in clinical therapeutic effect between the two methods. However, embedding method has fewer times of treatment and faster operation, which is worthy of clinical promotion.展开更多
