电热针治疗轻度髋骨关节炎疗效观察

Therapeutic Observation of Electrothermal Needle Apparatus for Mild Hip Osteoarthritis

目的观察电热针治疗轻度髋骨关节炎的疗效。方法采用随机数字表法将90例患者随机分为对照组和治疗组,每组45例。治疗组行电热针治疗;对照组行普通电针配合TDP照射。分别于治疗15 d后,采用视觉模拟评分(VAS)和JOA骨关节炎疗效评分标准评估两组疗效。结果治疗后两组患者VAS评分和JOA评分均有改善(P<0.05),治疗组治疗15 d后较对照组改善更明显(P<0.05)。结论电热针治疗轻度髋骨关节炎具有显著疗效。

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of electrothermal needle apparatus in treating mild hip osteoarthritis. Method Ninety patients were divided into a control group and a treatment group by using the random number table, 45 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by electrothermal needle apparatus; the control group was treated with ordinary electroacupuncture plus TDP radiation. After 15-day treatment, the therapeutic efficacies of the two groups were evaluated by using Visual Analogue Scale （VAS） and Japanese Orthopaedic Association （JOA） scores. Result The VAS and JOA scores were improved in the two groups after the treatment （P〈0..05）, and the improvements in the treatment group were more significant than those in the control group after the 15-day treatment （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Electrothermal needle apparatus can produce a significant therapeutic efficacy in treating mild hip osteoarthritis.
