Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Huoxue Chubi Decoction combined with knee paralysis and pain relief acupuncture in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods 72 patients diagnosed with KOA were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group,with 36 cases in each group.The control group received knee paralysis and pain relief acupuncture,while the treatment group received knee paralysis and pain relief acupuncture plus oral Huoxue Chubi Decoction.After 4 weeks of treatment,the changes in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores,Western Ontario and McMaster Universities(WOMAC)Osteoarthritis Index,and Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)Scores were observed before and after treatment in two groups,and the above items were compared between groups.Results After treatment,compared with before treatment,TCM symptom scores,VAS scores,and WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index in two groups decreased,and the treatment group was lower than the control group after 4 weeks of treatment,and there was statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).After treatment,compared with before treatment,JOA scores significantly increased in both groups,and the treatment group was higher than the control group after 4 weeks of treatment,and there was statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The total effective rate in the treatment group was 91.67％,while that in the control group was 72.22％.The therapeutic effect in the treatment group was significantly better than that in the control group,and there was statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion The simple knee paralysis and pain relief acupuncture can alleviate pain,and the combination of this method with Huoxue Chubi Decoction can enhance its analgesic effect and effectively improve joint swelling and range of motion.Therefore,this therapy is worth promoting.
