膝骨关节炎患者中医外治及护理研究现状

Current status of research on external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and nursing of patients with knee osteoarthritis

膝骨关节炎主要发病原因为关节边缘软骨板病变以及关节软骨完整性受到破坏,属于临床多发性异位性疾病,临床表现包括关节功能受限以及膝关节剧烈疼痛等,临床致残率较高。不但会给患者生理以及心理带来不适感,同时也会给患者的正常工作和生活带来了不便,极大地降低患者的生活品质。当前,临床尚无特效疗法,病情轻微患者多采用止痛以及消炎方法,病情严重患者需要采用人工关节置换术。中医保守治疗具有疗效确切以及风险小等特点,在患者中具有较高的认可度和接受度,此次研究旨在探讨膝骨关节炎患者的中医外治方法与护理研究现状。

The main cause of knee osteoarthritis is the destruction of joint edge cartilage plate and the integrity of articular cartilage.It belongs to clinical multiple atopic disease.The clinical manifestations include limited joint function and severe knee pain,with higher clinical disability rate,which will not only bring discomfort to the patient’s physical and psychological,but also bring great inconvenience to patients’normal work and life,and greatly reduce patients’quality of life.At present,there is no specific treatment in clinical practice.Patients with mild disease often use analgesic and anti-inflammatory methods.Patients with severe disease need artificial joint replacement.The conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine has the characteristics of exact curative effect and low risk,and has high recognition and acceptance in the majority of patients.This study aims to explore the current status of research on external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and nursing of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
