GUTIERREZ BLANCO, Mario; SANCHEZ VALDEOLLA, Oscar  y  BANDERAS VARGAS, Teresa. Treatment of bursitis in shoulders with auriculotherapy and tuina. AMC [online]. 2002, vol.6, n.2, pp.130-137. ISSN 1025-0255.

A study of two groups of 30 patients each of them was carried out, group 1 was treated with auriculotherapy only and in group 2 we combined auriculotherapy with tuina. We found that 65 % evolved favorably and the remaining (35 %) had some improvement, which confirmed the effectiveness of treatment. The prevailing age was among 45 and 54 years for 70 % pain reduced its intensity in 98 % and the movement angle increased in all patients treated. Results indicate that both treatments are innocuous, useful, effective and economic, because with combined treatment (group 2), a therapeutic success was obtained from fourth sessions, while with auricolotherapy alone it was in the seventh. These were no adverse reactions in any of the two treatment methods.
