Effect of Programmed Pain Nursing Combined with Neuromuscular Training Intervention on the Degree of Pain and Knee Joint Function in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
Objective To explore the effect of programmed pain nursing combined with neuromuscular training intervention on pain degree and knee joint function of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods A total of 76 patients with KOA admitted to the Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Tai'an City from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study objects, and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method, with 38 cases in each group.The control group received programmed pain nursing, and the observation group received neuromuscular training intervention on the basis of the control group.The pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, knee range of motion and and American Knee society scale (KSS) score were compared between the two groups.Results Before intervention, there were no significant differences in pain degree, knee motion and knee function between the two groups (P>0.05);after 4 and 8 weeks of intervention, the VAS scores of the observation group were (4.28±0.80) points and (3.57±0.46) points, respectively, which were lower than those of the control group, and the external rotation were (21.49± 3.25)° and (34.89±2.63)°, respectively, the internal rotation and buckling were (15.23±2.56)°, (25.07±2.23)°, and the buckling were (83.33±6.22)°, (123.27±9.83)°, respectively, and the KSS scores were (74.55±4.33) and (87.13±3.27) points, respectively, which were higher than those of the control group, the differences between the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Programmed pain nursing and neuromuscular training intervention are effective for KOA patients, which can help to relieve pain and improve knee joint mobility and function.
