Abstract： Objective： To observe the effect of warming-needle moxibustion on body pain， surface electromyography (sEMG) of deltoid muscle and motor function in patients with neck，shoulder，waist and leg pain. Methods：A total of 100 elderly patients with neck，shoulder，waist and leg pain were selected and randomly divided into the combination group and the control group，with 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine western medicine， and the combination group was treated with warming-needle moxibustion based on the treatment of the control group. Both groups were treated for eight weeks. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores ， sEMG signals of deltoid muscle [root mean square (RMS) of deltoid middle fiber， and median frequency (MF)]， and motor function of Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results： Before treatment，there was no significant difference in the VAS scores of the shoulders，neck，waist，and legs between the two groups (P＞0.05). After 2， 4， and 8 weeks of treatment， the VAS scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05) and showed a downward trend (P＜0.05)；the VAS scores in the combination group were lower than those in the control group at the same time point (P＜0.05). Before treatment，there was no significant difference in RMS and MF levels of deltoid middle fiber between the two groups (P＞0.05). After treatment，the RMS and MF levels in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05)， and the two levels in the combination group were higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05). Before treatment，there was no significant difference in the scores of upper limb and lower limb motor function in the FMA and total scores between the two groups (P＞0.05). After treatment，the upper and lower-limb motor function scores and total scores in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05)，and the scores of three items in the combination group were higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05). No significant adverse reactions were observed in the two groups. Conclusion：Warming-needle moxibustion can effectively relieve the pain degree of patients with neck， shoulder， waist and leg pain， enhance the sEMG of patients' deltoid muscles，and improve their motor function.
