Clinical Research On The Analgesic Effects Of Ashi Point Sihua Needling Method For Treatment Of Knee Osteoarthritis

Objective:A study is analgesic effect of Ashi point sihua needling method for treatment knee osteoarthritis.Methods:64cases of knee osteoarthritis patients were randomly divided into two groups following three separation principles of operation, evaluation and statistics. The treatment group (Referred to as the sihua needling group) were treated by Ashi point sihua needling method together with EA, Control group (EA group) to give pure EA operation. Two treatment regimens:once a day, five times as a course of treatment, a total of two courses of treatment. During the experiment, complete record indicators data before and after treatment of the pain assessment (VAS), WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index, joint tenderness, onset time were evaluated about the conditions of both groups before and after the treatment. The data mentioned above were analyzed by using SPSS19.0statistical software, and get the final conclusion.Results:(1) Sihua needling group and EA group in age, sex, duration and other baseline data were analyzed statistically no significant difference (P>0.05), both unified and stable baseline, comparable;(2)The total effective groups, Sihua needling group were cured1(3.70%),were cured11(40.74%), improved in13(48.15%), ineffective in2(7.41%), total efficiency (92.59%); EA group were cure1(3.45%), were cured9(31.03%), improved in12(41.38%), invalid7(24.14%), the total efficiency of75.86%; difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Ashi point sihua needling method is better than the treatment of EA in general the treatment of KOA;(3) the comparison of VAS scores,WOMAC index, joint tenderness score of two groups itself between the beginning and the end were significantly difference (P <0.05), described both treatment methods can relieve knee osteoarthritis pain and improve knee function activities to improve quality of life.(4) between the two groups, VAS score, pain in WOMAC index, daily activity scores, the differences between the two groups there was statistically significant (P<0.05); joint stiffness scores of WOMAC index statistics, no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).(5) The onset time statistical analysis of the two groups, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), said Minge is Ashi point sihua needling method together with EA pain relief earlier than pure EA.Conclusion:Ashi point sihua needling method with electro-acupuncture treatment in patients with knee osteoarthritis pain relief and onset time is better than electric acupuncture.
