Application Effect of Routine Rehabilitation Therapy Combined with Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation in Knee Osteoarthritis
Objective:To explore the application effect of routine rehabilitation therapy combined with transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS)in knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Method:A total of 106 patients with KOA who diagnosed and treated in Wuxi Second Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from February 2020 to October 2023 were selected as the research objects,the patients were divided into the observation group and the control group by computer-generated random number method,with 53 cases in each group.The control group was given routine rehabilitation therapy,and the observation group was given TEAS on the basis of the control group.The efficacy,joint function,pain degree and inflammatory factors were compared between two groups.Result:The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.23%,which was higher than 75.47%of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);after treatment,the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score(KOOS)scores of two groups were higher than those before treatment,and that in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)scores,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6)and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)of two groups were lower than those before treatment,and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);after 1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment,the visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of two groups were lower than that before treatment,and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Routine rehabilitation therapy combined with TEAS can improve the clinical effect of KOA patients,improve joint function,reduce pain and reduce the level of inflammatory factors.
