Clinical effect of intelligent moxibustion robot simulating bird-pecking moxibustion in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis
Objective To explore the clinical effect of intelligent moxibustion robot simulating bird-pecking moxibustion in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods A total of 64 patients with KOA who were treated from July 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the research objects and randomly divided into experimental group and control group,with 32 cases in each group.The experimental group was treated with intelligent moxibustion robot simulating bird-pecking moxibustion,while the control group was treated with traditional bird-pecking moxibustion.The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared.Results After 2 and 4 weeks of treatment,the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score of the two groups was lower than that before treatment,that in the experimental group was lower than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After 2 and 4 weeks of treatment,the degree of stiffness and activity disorder scores of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)in the two groups were lower than those before treatment,those in the experimental group were lower than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The total compliance rate of treatment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The total effective rate of treatment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The intelligent moxibustion robot simulating bird-pecking moxibustion is safe and effective in the treatment of KOA.It can effectively relieve the pain of patients,improve the stiffness and activity of knee joint,and has high clinical application value.
