Abstract：Objective：To observe the clinical effect of the therapy of thumbtack needling for subcutaneous embedding and hot compress with Chinese medicine packages on neck and shoulder pain with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods： A total of 60 patients with neck and shoulder pain with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome caused by prolonged prone lying after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to random number table method，with 30 cases in each group. The control group was assisted by prone chair to maintain prone position，and the observation group was additionally treated with thumbtack needling for subcutaneous embedding and hot compress with Chinese medicine packages based on the treatment of the control group. Both groups were treated for 1 week. The clinical effects，scores of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Plasma viscosity (PV) were compared before and after treatment between the two groups. Results： After treatment， the total effective rate was 93.33% in the observation group， higher than that of 70.00% in the control group， the difference being significant (P＜0.05). After treatment，the VAS scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment，and the VAS score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group，differences being significant (P＜0.05). After treatment，the PV in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment，and the PV in the observation group was lower than that in the control group，differences being significant (P＜0.05). Conclusion：The therapy of thumbtack needling for subcutaneous embedding and hot compress with Chinese medicine packages can relieve neck and shoulder pain caused by prolonged prone lying after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment，which can reduce blood viscosity.
