Acupoint Injection Therapy For Knee Osteoarthritis Clinical Observation

Objectives: Observation point injection of compound Angelica injection in treating knee osteoarthritis clinical efficacy.Methods: Single-blind, randomized (sealed envelope method), controlled clinical research and design methods will be incorporated into the case is divided into acupoint injection therapy group (treatment group), acupuncture in the control group (referred to as the control group 1), drug control group (referred to as the control group 2 ).Point-injection groups: the use of compound Angelica injection point injection, point selection:liangqiu, xuehai,yinlingquan, yanglingquan. 0.5-1.0 ml of liquid for each acupoint every other day once, three times a week; acupuncture control group: Selection with the injection group, Contortus line needle inserted to make sense of the knee has to acid feeling and the feeling of expansion degrees, 30 minutes left needle, needle a day, three times a week; drug control group : patients with daily oral celecoxib capsules, twice daily, each dose of 0.2g, three groups were treated for 4 weeks. Respectively before and after treatment in patients with lequesne Record Scale Change joint pain, knee osteoarthritis severity index (index of severity for osteroarthritis ISOA) changes were observed before and after treatment in patients with serum nitric oxide (NO) levels Change, for statistical treatment.Results: 1, point injection, acupuncture, drugs are the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in an effective way to group three are to have 100 percent efficiency;2, point injection of compound Angelica injection to patients with a significant reduction in joint pain index and lequesne Knee osteoarthritis severity index score, the improvement in patients with knee flexion and extension of the activity difficult;3, three groups of treatment for knee osteoarthritis no significant effect of serum NO;4, point injection of compound Angelica injection in treating osteoarthritis knee are safe and effective, the course of treatment no side effects.Conclusions: 1, The three methods of treatment are effective.2, point-injection group to improve conditions Knee osteoarthritis is better than acupuncture group and drug group.3, three groups of treatment for the effects of serum NO was not obvious.4, point injection of compound Angelica injection in treating knee osteoarthritis are safe and effective method.
