Efficacy observation of Fu's subcutaneous needling therapy and heat-sensitive moxibustion on knee osteoarthritis
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Fu's subcutaneous needling and heat-sensitive moxibustion on knee osteoarthriti by musculoskeletal ultrasound.Methods:60 cases of eligible patients with knee osteoarthritis were selected and randomly divided into two groups,30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional needling,while the treatment group was treated with Fu's subcutaneous needling and heat-sensitive moxibustion.Visual analogue scale(VAS),the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOM AC),level of interleukin-1 β(IL-1 β),level of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and thickness of articular cavity effusion of patients were recorded and compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results:The total effective rate of treatment group was 93.33％,which was higher than 70.00％of control group(P＜0.05).In both groups after treatment,VAS score,WOMAC score,IL-1 β level and TNF-α level were lower than pre-treatment(P＜0.01),and the decreasing degree of treatment group was larger than that of control group(P＜0.01);the thickness of articular cavity effusion was decreased compared with pre-treatment(P＜0.01),and the decreasing degree of articular cavity effusion thickness of treatment group was larger than that of control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of Fu's subcutaneous needling therapy and heat-sensitive moxibustion on knee osteoarthriti is significantly better than conventional needling therapy in relieving pain and improving joint function,etc.
