Clinical Study on Acupuncture Therapy for"Treating Both Knee and Hip"for Knee Osteoarthritis

目的:观察“膝髋同治”针刺疗法治疗膝骨关节炎的临床疗效。方法:将56例膝骨关节炎患者随机分为对照组和治疗组,每组28例。对照组给予塞来昔布胶囊口服治疗,治疗组给予“膝髋同治”针刺疗法治疗。观察两组患者治疗前后西安大略大学和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数(western ontario and mcmaster universities osteoarthritis index, WOMAC)评分、膝关节功能。结果:治疗组有效率为92.9%,对照组有效率为85.7%,治疗组有效率高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);治疗组治疗后WOMAC评分低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);治疗组治疗后膝关节功能评分低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:“膝髋同治”针刺疗法治疗膝骨关节炎,可明显减轻患者疼痛,改善膝关节功能,提高膝关节活动度。

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture therapy for"treating both knee and hip"on knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods:A total of 56 patients with KOA were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group,with 28 cases in each group.The control group was given Celecoxib Capsules for oral administration,while the treatment group was given acupuncture therapy for"treating both knee and hip".The Western Ontario and MeMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)score and knee joint function of the two groups before and after treatment were observed.Results:The effective rate of the treatment group was 92.9%,while that of the control group was 85.7%.The effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After treatment,the WOMAC score of the treatment group was lower than that of the control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05);the knee joint function score of the treatment group was lower than that of the control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture therapy for"treating both knee and hip"can significantly relieve pain,improve knee joint function and increase knee joint activity of patients with KOA.
