Warming Needle Moxibustion Combined with Qiangfang Qubi Decoction in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis of Cold-dampness Blockade Type
Objective To analyze the clinical effect of warming needle moxibustion combined with Qiangfang Qubi decoction in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis of cold-dampness blockade type.Methods A total of 70 patients with knee osteoarthritis of cold-dampness blockade type from August 2020 to October 2022 were selected as research objects,and were divided into control group and study group by random number table method,with 35 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional Western medicine,and the study group was treated with warming needle moxibustion combined with Qiangfang Qubi decoction.The total effec-tive rate,serum interleukin 1β(IL-1 β),matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9),serum osteoclast inhibitor(OPG),alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and knee function scores before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the study group was 94.29％(33/35),which was higher than that of the control group(71.43％,25/35)(P＜0.05).After treatment,the lev-els of IL-1 β and MMP-9 in the study group were lower than those in the control group,the levels of OPG and ALP were higher than those in the control group,and the knee function score was also higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combi-nation of warming needle moxibustion with Qiangfang Qubi decoction is effective in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis of cold-dampness blockade type,can effectively improve the inflammation of patients and promote the recovery of knee joint function.
