Abstract:

Objective

To observe the clinical effect of femoral nine-needle on knee osteoarthritis.

Methods

A total of 100 patients with knee osteoarthritis from January 2020 to May 2021 were selected from Xiangyang Community Health Service Center, Hangzhou Street, Tianjin Binhai New Area. They were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the random number table method. The treatment group was treated with femoral nine-needle, while the control group was treated with routine acupuncture. Before treatment, 3 weeks after treatment, 3 months after treatment and 6 months after treatment, visual analogue scale (VAS) and knee joint scale (LKSS) were used to assess the pain and function of the two groups respectively.

Results

The VAS scores of the two groups in each period after treatment were lower than those before treatment, with a statistically significant difference (F=427.72, 188.75, all P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, the VAS scores of the treatment group decreased after 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months of treatment, and the difference was statistically significant(t=7.59, 8.66, 9.23, all P<0.05). The LKSS scores of the two groups in each period after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment (F=949.75, 307.57, all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the LKSS scores were increased in every period after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant(t=8.28, 9.98, 12.27, all P<0.05).

Conclusions

Femoral nine-needle can effectively relieve pain and improve knee function of patients, and the efficacy can be maintained for a certain time. Femoral nine-needle has a significant therapeutic effect on knee osteoarthritis.
