ABSTRACT
Objective:
To observe the clinical effect of acupotomy plus cupping for knee osteoarthritis (KOA). <br>Methods:
Sixty cases with KOA were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The patients in the treatment group were given acupotomy and cupping, while the patients in the control group were given injection of Sodium Hyaluronate. The index of severity for osteoarthritis (ISOA), the change of the effusion of knee joint and clinical effects were observed after treatment. <br>Results:
The total effective rate was respectively 96.7% in the treatment group and 66.7% in the control group. The difference in the clinical effects between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, ISOA scores and scores of knee effusion in the two groups were remarkably reduced than those before treatment (P<0.05). The changes of the scores of the two indexes were statistically significant (both P<0.05). <br>Conclusion:
Acupotomy plus cupping is better than injection of Sodium Hyaluronate in treatment of KOA.
