目的观察推拿结合超短波治疗膝关节骨性关节炎(KOA)的疗效。方法将56名KOA患者,按就诊序号随机分为两组,治疗组30例和对照组26例,治疗组采用推拿及超短波联合疗法,对照组只进行单纯超短波疗法。两组患者分别在治疗前和治疗20 d后采用《中医病证诊断疗效标准》和国际骨关节炎评分标准Lequesne指数对治疗效果和关节功能改善情况进行评定。结果治疗组有效率为90%,对照组有效率为69.2%,经χ2检验,两组差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);两组治疗后Lequesne指数评分均较治疗前有明显改善(P<0.01);治疗后两组患者Lequesne指数评分比较,治疗组优于对照组(P<0.01)。结论推拿及超短波联合治疗KOA具有显著疗效。

After treatment, Lequesne index scores were significantly improved in two groups（ P 〈 0.01 ）. Compared with the control group, the Lequesne index scores increased more in the treatment group（P 〈 0.01 ）.
