The effectiveness and safety of thread-embedding acupuncture for chronic rotator cuff disease: A study protocol for a randomized, patient-assessor-blinded, controlled, clinical trial

ConclusionsPrevious studies have shown that TEA could be an alternative treatment for shoulder pain. However, there is still a lack of scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of TEA for chronic rotator cuff disease. This study will provide useful evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of TEA treatment. The findings will serve as important data for conducting additional acupuncture studies on chronic rotator cuff disease.
