艾灸和针刺治疗对膝骨性关节炎患者临床症状影响与疗法特点调查的对比研究

目的:评价艾灸和针刺治疗膝关节骨关节炎的临床症状疗效、疗效差异和疗法特点,为临床选择艾灸或针刺治疗提供依据。方法:将50例膝骨性关节炎患者按组间均衡原则随机分为艾灸治疗组(25例38只膝关节)和针刺治疗组(25例34只膝关节),两组患者均选取患病膝关节周围腧穴(阳陵泉、阴陵泉、梁丘、血海、内外膝眼、足三里、阿是穴)分别进行温和灸和毫针针刺治疗,通过JOA表观察治疗前后两组患者临床症状的变化及变化差异,并进行疗法特点的问卷调查。结果:艾灸组和针刺组治疗前后临床症状均减轻,JOA表康复评定差值都有统计学意义(P<0.05;P<0.05);艾灸组和针刺组比较,针刺组的总体疗效好于艾灸组,差值有统计学意义(P<0.05)。艾灸组和针刺组治疗结束后,疗法特点的问卷调查结果显示艾灸组掌握率为96%,针刺组掌握率为0%,艾灸组患者对治疗方法的掌握明显高于针刺组。结论:艾灸和针刺对膝关节骨性关节炎均有有效治疗作用,但针刺治疗疗效优于艾灸治疗,而艾灸组患者大多学会艾灸治疗方法,所以,在针灸防治KOA临床运用中,医务工作者可根据患者情况的不同,在确保安全的前提下选择推荐并教授患者自行艾灸(温和灸)的方法进行治疗,也可选择针刺(或包含针刺在内的综合手段)治疗以取得更好的临床疗效,从而满足广大人民群众不同层次和不同方面的医疗保障需求。
