Clinical observation on beryllium needle in treatment of early and middle patellofemoral arthritis based on"meridian-tendon"theory
Objective To observe the efficacy of beryllium needles based on"meridian-tendon"theory in treatment of early-to-mid-patellofemoral arthritis(EMPA).Methods Ninety EMPA patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 45 cases in each group.Control group was treated with sodium hyaluronate,and observation group was treated with beryllium needles in the hips and knees.The overall effective rate,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,Lysholm knee score,and imaging indicators of patellofemoral arthritis disorder in the two groups were compared.Results After treatment,the overall improvement rate of observation group was higher than that of control group(P＜0.05);the VAS score of the knee joint,Insall and patellofemoral index,femoral trochlear groove,patellofemoral coordination,lateral patellofemoral and patellar tilt angles in both groups was lower than that before treatment,while the Lysholm score of the knee joint was higher,the above indicators in observation group were superior to those in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Beryllium acupuncture based on"meridian-tendon"theory has significant efficacy in treatment of EMPA,which can reduce pain,improve knee joint function,and improve the imaging indicators of patellofemoral arthritis disorder.
