Abstract

We chose 30 patients diagnosed with non-traumatic acute bursitis of the shoulder, compatible with a Bi Syndrome by cold in Asiatic Traditional Medicine, assisting the High Institute of Military Medicine “Luis Díaz Soto” from July 1998 to November 1999. They were diagnozed in traditional way, and pain and articular mobility were qualitative evaluated before and after being treated with moxibustion. An analitic, observational, prospective study was carried out and the Wilcoxon´s test was applied. Everithing was made with a signification level ? = 0,05 (95 % of compatibility).
We evaluated the therapeutic answer, proving the efectiveness of moxibustion in painly shoulder. There was a pain modification in most of the cases; in most of the patients the abduction angle was increased. 83.33 % of the cases showed a satisfactory evolution.
