Clinical Effects of the Hot Spike Stimulation at the YUSEN (K-1) and SANINKO (SP-6) for Knee Joint Osteoarthritis(OA) / 全日本鍼灸学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

We compared the results of heating the joint and of applying the Hot-spike and electric stimulus to the YUSEN and SANINKO points to disperse the fluid at the Knee.<br>The tests with the points resulted in little change in the fluid level at the Knee.<br>This time we measured the circumference of the Knee. A therapist established the standard measuring method, and tried to make the error decrease.<br>While they were observing the circumference of the Knee, they would not allow anyother medical treatments or any movement by the patient.
