Objective: This study from the perspective of clinical observation and objective evaluation of acupuncture treatment of knee osteoarthritis clinical efficacy. In order to better promote the clinical application. Methods: 60 cases of degenerative arthritis of the knee were divided into acupuncture group (A group) and control group (B group). Clinical indicators: pain threshold determination, determination of the quality of life. Determination: Simple MPQ Pain Questionnaire (Schedule I) of knee osteoarthritis treatment criteria (JOA) (Schedule II) \Object of study: A group of 30 patients with sources attached to a hospital outpatient acupuncture, B group 30 patients source for orthopedic clinic attached to a hospital. Treatment: A group of acupuncture treatment group, take the main points with acupoints along meridians and acupoints syndrome. The main point: the inner and outer knee eyes, crane top, knee Yang Guan, knee, Ququan. Differentiation acupoints: Feng Xie Piansheng (OK Bi), take Geshu sea of ??blood. Hanxie Piansheng (Tong Bi), take shen, Guan Yuan. Dampness Piansheng (the Bi), take yinlingquan. Operation: acupuncture often spy after disinfection, take 1.5-2 inch needle for acupuncture treatment, acupuncture after the gas needle 30 ~ 40mins, leaving the needle while using warm needle (plus ignited moxa two Qing Zhuang; every Zhuang 2.5cm), and Use TDP irradiation, once a day, 10 times as a course of treatment, three courses. Group B, the control group was treated medicine, oral joint health every 3, 3 times a day, 10 days for a course of treatment, three courses. Results: 1. Treatment group of 30 patients, 12 males and 18 females; aged 45-69 years, mean 55.6 ± 11.8 years; shortest duration of five months, the longest five years, an average 3.21 ± 1.12 years. The control group of 30 patients, 14 males and 16 females; aged 46-70 years, mean 54.35 ± 9.4 years; shortest duration of three months, the longest 4.5 years, mean 3.78 ± 1.09 years. Two groups of patients in terms of gender, age, duration no significant difference between comparable (P gt; 0.05). (2) by t test, the two groups before treatment, the indicators showed no significant difference (P gt; 0.05). Means that two samples from the same population, can be synchronized research. 3 Comparison of two groups: treatment group and control organizations were cured 16 cases, 9 cases; were improved in 14 cases, 17 cases; ineffective were 0 cases, 4 cases. Treatment group was 100%, the control group was 86.7%. By Ridit analysis, the treatment group were significantly better than the control group (P lt; 0.05). Illustrate the use of acupuncture treatment of degenerative arthritis of the knee, the clinical results than drug treatment group were significantly different. Conclusions: Clinical studies show: knee degenerative arthritis mainly liver and kidney deficiency, blood deficiency, incentives for the wind cold dampness evil violation organism, pathogenesis meridian blockage. Acupuncture treatment of knee degenerative arthritis, to improve local swelling, joint stiffness, joint instability, reduce pain and improve knee range of motion and walking ability, its effect may be adjusted acupuncture systemic conditions, improve local blood circulation, improve body pain threshold related. Acupuncture treatment of knee degenerative arthritis is clinically feasible method of treatment.
