Clinical Study on the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis with Bone-Replenishing and Tendon-Stretching and Collateral-Dredging Decoction Combined with Core Stability Exercise
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Bone-Replenishing and Tendon-Stretching and Collateral-Dredging Decoction combined with core stability exercise on knee osteoarthritis.Methods:A total of 98 patients with knee osteoarthritis treated in Xiangcheng Health School Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine Hospital from May 2020 to May 2022 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method,with 49 cases in each group.The control group was given core stability exercise intervention,while the observation group was treated with Bone-Replenishing and Tendon-Stretc-hing and Collateral-Dredging Decoction on the basis of the treatment of the control group.The changes in knee osteoarthritis symptom score,pain score,quality of life score,balance ability,lower limb muscle strength,inflammatory factor levels(including interleukin-6,interleukin-10,tumor necrosis factor)and clinical efficacy of the two groups were observed.Results:The effective rate of the observation group was 97.96%,while that of the control group was 81.63%.The effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the morning stiffness score,difficulty in life score and pain difficulty score of the observation group were lower than those of the control group,and all the differences were statistical-ly significant(P<0.05);The time of stepping in place with eyes closed,the time of standing on one foot with eyes closed,and the times of 30-second sit-stand test in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and all the differences were statis-tically significant(P<0.05);The levels of interleukin-6,interleukin-10,and tumor necrosis factor in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,all the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);The pain score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,while the quality of life score was higher than that in the control group,and all the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Bone-Replenishing and Tendon-Stretching and Collateral-Dredging Decoction combined with core stability exercise can improve the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis,relieve pain,improve the quality of life,balance ability and lower limb muscle strength of patients,and reduce the level of inflammatory factors.
