Clinical Effect of Acupuncture Combined with Spread Moxibustion Therapy in the Application of Patients with Cold-damp Type Knee Osteoarthritis
Objective:To study the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with spread moxibustion therapy in the application of patients with cold-damp type knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Method:A total of 82 patients with cold-damp type KOA treated in Guiyang Huaxi District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected.They were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 41 cases in each group.Both groups were given anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs treatment,the control group was given acupuncture,and the observation group was given spread moxibustion therapy on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy after treatment,knee joint function,pain degree,daily living ability and quality of life before treatment and after 8 weeks of treatment of the two groups were compared.Result:The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After 8 weeks of treatment,the scores of daily life,pain,joint stiffness and total score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After 8 weeks of treatment,the Barthel index scale(BI)score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the visual analogue scale(VAS)score was lower than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After 8 weeks of treatment,the physiological,psychological,social and environmental scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture combined with spread moxibustion therapy can improve the effect of cold-damp KOA treatment,reduce the knee pain,accelerate the recovery of knee function,and improve the quality of life.
