| Objective:Knee osteoarthritis(knee osteoarthritis,KOA)is one of the most common in clinical senile joint disease,women more than men,with the arrival of the ageing population,the incidence of the disease increased year by year.There are many ways to treat the disease.From the literature research and clinical observation,it is found that acupotomy is more common and has a better clinical effect,while moxibustion with local thermal sensitization of the lesion can significantly improve the clinical efficacy of the disease.Therefore,through strict clinical trial design,we observe the therapeutic effect of acupotomy combined with heat-sensitive moxibustion treatment of KOA with simple acupotomy,and provide a better treatment plan for the clinical treatment of KOA.Methods:Selection into the standard of 60 patients with knee osteoarthritis,according to random method was divided into control group and treatment group 30 cases,treatment group given needle knife with thermal moxibustion therapy,the control group given simple needle knife therapy,treatment for 3 weeks,statistics before and after treatment of WOMAC score,VAS score and the overall curative effect,carries on the statistical analysis.Results:The effectiveness of the treatment group was 93%,the control group was 80% effective,and the efficacy of the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).The WOMAC score and VAS score before and after treatment in both groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).No significant adverse reactions were observed in the two groups.Conclusion:This study has demonstrated needle knife combined thermal moxibustion for treatment of knee osteoarthritis curative effect,and is superior to the pure needle knife therapy,can provide the basis for clinical treatment of knee osteoarthritis,and clinical application prospect. |
