Effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness of thread-embedding acupuncture treatment for chronic rotator cuff disease: A randomized, patient-assessor-blinded, controlled, clinical trial
The TEA treatment resulted in partial clinical improvements, including pain relief and shoulder function; however, these results were not statistically significant. Nevertheless, the TEA treatment was statistically significant in clinical improvement and cost-effectiveness for the range of external rotations.
