Comply with any one who removed from the study. The primary efficacy endpoint: patients, respectively, before treatment and after 2 weeks after the end of the use of internationally accepted course of treatment of knee osteoarthritis WOMAC scale. Rating Methods:100mm line at both ends, respectively, "pain" (0mm) recorded as 0 points and the "imaginary pain" (100mm) recorded as 100 points. Measured by the degree according to their feelings, in a straight line to mark the corresponding position, "painless" end-to-mark shall be judged by the distance between the (mm), arrive at the corresponding scores. Evaluation criteria:clinical recovery:the symptoms disappeared and normal functional activity, WOMAC osteoarthritis Total decrease≥95%; markedly: the symptoms disappeared, normal joint function, WOMAC osteoarthritis decreased≥66%; Effective:the pain disappeared, joint range of motion is normal, WOMAC osteoarthritis points decline≥33%; invalid:does not meet the standard of effectiveness or even increase, WOMAC osteoarthritis points decline≤33% or even increase.Results:External application of Chinese medicine group,7 were males and 23 female, mean age 52.3 years, mean duration of 4.6 years, obesity in 8 cases,17 cases of right knee, left knee in 13 cases, before treatment the average WOMAC total score points 614.2±406.96 min, (pain items GPA 131.37±84.878 points, rigid entry GPA 61.90±53.225 points, functional items GPA 420.93±288.87 minutes), acupuncture group,5 male,25 female, mean age 49.6 years, mean duration of 5.7 years obesity in 7 cases,18 cases of right knee, left knee in 12 cases, the average points score before treatment 601.46±314.52 points (pain points in mean 144.27±58.18 points, rigid item average of 33.53±39.61 points, functional items GPA 423.67±237.60 min), Glucosamine group of 6 males and 24 females, average age 51.5 years, mean duration of 6.1 years, obesity in 9 cases,21 cases of right knee, left knee in 9 cases Before the treatment, the average points score 622.23±270.35 points (pain points in mean 129.33±68.94 points, rigid items GPA 24.73±18.319 points, functional items GPA 468.17±203.691 points). The sex ratio of three groups of patients, average age, weight, disease course, treatment points, compared with no significant difference (P & gt; 0.05), after treatment, three groups of symptoms score Decreased significantly 2 weeks after the external application of Chinese medicine group symptom score decreased to 522.07±410.342 points (pain points in mean 103.90±74.054 points, rigid entry GPA 46.83±53.98 points, functional items GPA 371.33±304.973 points), acupuncture group of symptoms Points reduced to 522.07±410.342 points (pain items GPA 88.83±45.05 points, rigid entry GPA 31.07±39.377 points, functional items GPA 316.63±227.031 points), Glucosamine group symptom score decreased to 549.60±249.245 points (pain items average credit 117.70±62.389 points, rigid entry points average of 20.13±16.017 points, Function entry points 411.77±181.148 points on average),4 weeks after the external application of Chinese medicine group symptom score was reduced to 369.2±358.36 points (pain points in mean 83.03±77.802 points, rigid entry GPA 30.73±42.9 points, functional items GPA 255.43±257.009 points), acupuncture group symptom score was reduced to 332.33±258.349 points (pain points in mean 59.23±41.602 points, rigid entry GPA 24.77±36.289 points, functional items GPA 248.33±198.88 min), Glucosamine group symptom score was reduced to 368.30±218.663 points (pain points in mean 72.97±52.906 points, rigid Item average credit 11.33±10.835 points, functional items GPA 284.00±161.925 points), For two weeks after external application of Chinese medicine group of chinese medicine can effectively alleviate (p<0.05), acupuncture therapy groups, two weeks after stiff in alleviating not obvious (p>0.05) the pain of the item and to effectively alleviate (p<0.05), portuguese and a group therapy can be effectively improve (p<0.05), after about three groups to pain and stiffness and functions are effective in improving (p<0.05), three groups, for two weeks later, the stiffness in external application effect of a group of the portuguese effect. acupuncture group effect (p<0.05) in pain, acupuncture groups than the other two groups of the effect of significantly (p<0.05) external application group and may make group obvious differences between the two groups is (p>0.05) in three aspects, there is no obvious differences between (p>0.05). for two weeks after three the total availability of chinese medicine external application group23.3%, acupuncture group 40.0%, may make group 0%, there are significant gender difference in meaning, for four weeks after three the total availability of chinese medicine external application group50.0%, acupuncture group 76.7%, may make group 73.3%,no significant gender difference. three groups of the treatment process is no visible reaction.Conclusion:External application of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and Glucosamine treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee is an effective method of treatment 2 weeks TCM herbs and acupuncture was remarkably superior to the Portuguese legislation, but in between there is no significant difference in the efficiency of the treatment 4 weeks after the treatment no significant difference between the total effective rate in the different stages of disease, In remission, the three groups can effectively alleviate the symptoms, For two weeks after external application of Chinese medicine group of chinese medicine can effectively alleviate (p<0.05) acupuncture therapy groups, two weeks after stiff in alleviating not obvious (p<0.05), the pain of the item and to effectively alleviate (p<0.05), portuguese and a group therapy can be effectively improve (p<0.05), after about three groups to pain and stiffness and functions are effective in improving (p<0.05),Worthy of clinical application. Three groups, for two weeks and four weeks, the stiffness in respect of the portuguese external application of Chinese medicine effect of a group of effective results. acupuncture group (p<0.05) in pain, acupuncture groups than the other two groups of the effect of significantly (p<0.05) external application of Chinese medicine group and may make group obvious differences between the two groups (p>0.05) in three aspects, there is no obvious differences between (p>0.05).
