Observation On Therapeutic Effect Of Dazhu Point Acupuncture Exercise Combined With Conventional Acupuncture Therapy On Knee Osteoarthritis

Objective:In this study,the effect of Dazhu point acupuncture combined with conventional acupuncture therapy on VAS score,WOMAC score and JOA score of patients with knee osteoarthritis and the clinical efficacy were observed by randomized controlled method,in order to provide an alternative scheme for acupuncture treatment of knee osteoarthritis in clinic.Methods:60 outpatients and inpatients with knee osteoarthritis(KOA)were randomly divided into observation group and control group,30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine: ibuprofen sustained-release capsules,300 mg / time,one capsule in the morning and one capsule in the evening every day,10 days as a course of treatment,two courses of conventional western medicine treatment,two days after the end of the first course of treatment,and then into the second course of treatment.The observation group was treated with Dazhu point acupuncture combined with conventional acupuncture: bilateral Dazhu points were acupunctured,and the needle was retained for 10 minutes.During the period,the patients were instructed to slowly bend and extend the knee joint.After the needle was released,local acupoints such as knee eye,Dubi,heding and Liangqiu were acupunctured,and the needle was retained for 30 minutes.Treatment once a day,10 days for a course of treatment,after the first course of treatment rest for two days,and then enter the second course of treatment.After two courses of treatment,the VAS score,WOMAC score,JOA score and clinical efficacy of the two groups were observed and compared.Results:1.Baseline data: there was no significant difference in age,gender,course of disease,VAS,WOMAC,JOA scores(P > 0.05).2.Scale score: the vas and WOMAC scores of the two groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment,and the JOA scores were significantly increased(P< 0.01).The improvement of vas,WOMAC and JOA scores of the acupuncture group after treatment was better than that of the western medicine group(P<0.05).It shows that acupuncture at he Dazhu point combined with conventional acupuncture therapy and oral ibuprofen sustained release capsule therapy can improve the three scales of patients,and acupuncture at Dazhu point combined with conventional acupuncture has better effect.3.Clinical efficacy: after treatment,the effective rate of the observation group was86.67%,which was higher than 70.00% of the control group(P < 0.05).Conclusion:1.Both methods can improve the vas,WOMAC and JOA scores of KOA patients,but Dazhu point acupuncture combined with conventional acupuncture therapy is better than oral ibuprofen sustained release capsule therapy in improving effect.2.For koa patients,the effective rate of Dazhu point acupuncture combined with conventional acupuncture therapy is better than oral ibuprofen sustained release capsule therapy.
