Clinical Study Of Pivot Meridian Massage In The Treatment Of Early And Middle Stage KOA

Objective: Observe the VAS pain score and WOMAC score before and after the treatment of knee osteoarthritis(KOA)with pivot meridian massage,and provide a massage treatment scheme with high feasibility for KOA and easy to promote.Methods: Seventy-two KOA patients who met the diagnostic criteria were included and divided into pivot massage group and exercise therapy group with 36 cases each.The pivot massage group was treated with pivot massage,and the exercise therapy group was treated with exercise therapy,with 5 interventions per week.The single treatment time was about 30 minutes,with a total of 10 treatments for 2 weeks.The intervention effect of the two groups was evaluated by comparing and analyzing the VAS pain score,WOMAC score and clinical efficacy before and after treatment.SPSS22.0 was used for statistical analysis of various data of clinical patients.Results: A total of 72 patients with knee osteoarthritis in the early and middle stages of the study were included in the study,of which 7cases fell off,and 65 cases finally completed the study.33 cases were actually included in the pivot massage group,and 32 cases were actually included in the exercise therapy group.1.There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender,age and course of disease(P>0.05),which was comparable.2.Before treatment,there was no significant difference in VAS pain score and WOMAC score between the two groups(P>0.05),which was comparable;After treatment,the VAS pain score and WOMAC score of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05).After treatment,the VAS pain score of the pivot massage group was lower than that of the exercise therapy group,and the WOMAC score of the exercise therapy group was lower than that of the pivot massage group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05),It shows that the two groups of treatment methods can reduce the VAS pain score and WOMAC score of patients,but the pivot massage group can improve the pain more significantly than the exercise therapy group,and the exercise therapy group can improve the joint movement function more significantly.3.In the pivot meridian massage group,5 cases were cured,9 cases were markedly effective,16 cases were effective,and 3 cases were ineffective.The total effective rate was 90.91%;In the exercise therapy group,1 case was cured,4 cases were markedly effective,20 cases were effective,and 7 cases were ineffective.The total effective rate was 78.12%.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:1.Both treatment plans can improve the pain and activity function of early and middle stage KOA,but the efficacy of the pivot massage group is better than that of the exercise therapy group.2.In the early and middle stages of treatment for KOA,the pivot meridian massage has a more significant analgesic effect,and exercise therapy improves joint activity function more effectively.3.Pivot meridian massage therapy provides a suitable treatment plan for promoting early and mid-term KOA treatment.
