Acupuncture and Bamboo-salt Moxibustion in the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis for 36 cases

目的 分析针刺配合竹圈盐灸对轻中度膝骨关节炎患者的治疗效果。方法 选取莆田学院附属医院2021年1月—2022年2月收治的轻中度膝骨关节炎患者72例,按照随机数字表法将其分为观察组和对照组。其中观察组采用针刺配合竹圈盐灸治疗,对照组则采用针刺配合红外线(TDP)治疗。采用疼痛视觉模拟量表(VAS)评分、骨关节炎指数(WOMAC)量表评分对2组患者治疗前后膝关节疼痛、压痛程度、肿胀度、活动度功能进行评价,并评定2组疗效。结果 治疗后观察组的VAS评分、疼痛评分、僵硬评分、日常活动功能评分以及WOMAC总评分均明显低于对照组(P<0.05)。且观察组的总有效率明显高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论 针刺配合竹圈盐灸对轻中度KOA患者疗效确切,可明显减轻患者疼痛,改善膝关节功能,值得临床推广。
