[Objectives]To study the clinical efficacy of needle warming through moxibustion combined with Tuina on retrogressive knee osteoarthritis,and to explore the effective treatment with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics.[Methods]60 patients with retrogressive knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into control group (n=30) and observation group (n=30).The control group was treated with Tuina,while the observation group was treated with needle warming through moxibustion combined with Tuina.The clinical cure rate,pain score and knee symptom score were compared and analyzed.[Results]The clinical cure rate was 96.70% in the observation group and 73.30% in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).After one course of treatment,the VAS score and knee Lequesne score of the two groups were decreased (P<0.05),and the decrease degree of the observation group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05).The joint rest pain score,joint motion pain score,tenderness score,swelling score,morning stiffness score and walking ability score were higher than those in the treatment group (P<0.05).[Conclusions]Needle warming through moxibustion combined with Tuina manipulation can significantly alleviate knee degenerative disease,eliminate inflammation,reduce edema,ease pain and improve the quality of life of patients. |
