Study of Sliver Needle Heating Therapy in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis

Objective:To observe clinical effects of needle Sliver Needle Heating Therapy in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods:80 KOA cases meet the criteria were randomly divided into test group and control group with 40 cases in each.The test group was treated with silver needle heating therapy,and the control group was treated with warming needle moxibustion.Both groups were treated for 2 courses.Observe and record the analgesic and its maintenance time after treatment,the visual analog scale(VAS),the depth of suprapatellar sac fluid and synovial thickness of the knee joint,the Western Ontario and McMaster universities osteoarthritis(WOMAC)index of the knee joint and the treatment Serum interleukin-1(IL^-1)and interleukin-6(IL-6)levels before and after treatment,and the efficacy was evaluated.Results:The difference of the VAS between test group and the control group was statistically significant(P<0.05)after treatment.The analgesic and its maintenance time difference after treatment were statistically significant(P<0.05).The difference of depth of suprapatellar sac fluid and synovial thickness of the knee joint between the two groups was a statistically significant(P<0.05)after treatment.The difference of WOMAC index of the knee joint between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05)after treatment;and the serum IL^-1 and IL-6 values of the two groups were compared,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05)after treatment.The effective rate of the test group was 97.5%,and of the control group was 85.0%,which the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).No adverse events occurred in both groups.Conclusion:Silver needle heating therapy can alleviate the patient′s pain,reduce the degree of effusion and synovial edema in the knee joint cavity,improve knee joint mobility,and reduce inflammation.It has the advantages of being simple to operation,definite curative effect,and less adverse effects.
