| ObjectiveObserve the effect of clinical trials through the hard Plaster treatment of knee arthritis in clinical efficacy. The external treatment of knee osteoarthritis were observed mainly in the remission of clinical symptoms, the initial stated hard Plaster medicine osteoarthritis of the knee mechanism of clinical efficacy, and of clinical treatment of knee osteoarthritisto provide relevant theoretical and experimental basis.MethodsIn our study,45 cases of standard cases (knee), design of a parallel control experiment, the experimental group (Chinese hard Plaster treatment group) of 22 knees and the control group (intra-articular injection Sofastin treatment group) and 23 knees, record the mainclinical manifestations (pain, swelling, kneeflexionandextensionactivities). Chinese-m ade experimental group given the hard Plaster,2 times/day for 3 times. Control group given intra-articular injection Sofastin, observed and recorded 6 days after clinical remission of the cases are mainly, according to the clinical efficacy, the use of SPSS 11.0 statistical software, measurement data using mean±standard deviation (X±S), said countdata using x 2 test (based P<0.05 was considered statistically significant).Resultsthe efficiency of the treatment group was 86.96%in the control group, the total efficiency of 72.73%, compared the two groups was significant difference (P<0.05);The treatment of pain index decreased 67.17% in the control group pain index dropped 50.67% on average, compared with before treatment there was significant difference (P<0.01); Swelling degree of the treatment group decreased 3.12%, swelling the control group decreased 1.96%, compared with before treatment there was significant difference (P<0.05); Treatment group, the average degree of remission of motion improved 13.01% in the control group the average degree of remission of motion improved 16.29%, compared with before treatment there was significant difference (P<0.01).ConclusionHard Plaster TCM treatment of knee osteoarthritis showing better clinical efficacy, can improve the clinical knee osteoarthritis symptoms, especially in pain relief, reduce swelling and improve knee function activities, and its treatmentand intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate close. Although intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate for the treatment of the international common method of osteoarthritis of the knee, as the viscosity of sodium hyaluronate intra-articular injection of supplements can relieve joint pain, with increasing joint lubrication, but its expensive, clinicalmore complicated operation, but is an invasive operation, there exists the risk of infection after joint cavity, so its clinical application is limited. TCM treatment is effective for hard-Plaster, with swelling and pain, blood circulation, Shu by active.features, local organizations can improve blood circulation, relieve pain caused by muscle tension, promote the absorption of inflammation, but also simple, rapid onset, short course of treatment, safe and adverse reactions, low cost, easily accepted by patients, for promotion in clinical use. |
