ABSTRACT
AIM To investigate the clinical effects of Dense Fire-Needling combined with Shentong Zhuyu Decoction on patients with knee osteoarthritis of Wind-Phlegm Blocking Collateral Pattern.METHODS Sixty-two patients were randomly assigned into control group(31 cases)for 2-week intervention of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction,and observation group(31 cases)for 2-week intervention of both Dense Fire-Needling and Shentong Zhuyu Decoction.The changes in clinical effects,TCM syndrome scores,VAS score,Lysholm score,WOMAC score,serological indices(MMP-3,IL-6,TNF-α)and incidence of adverse reactions were detected.RESULTS The observation group demonstrated higher total effective rate than the control group(P<0.05).After the treatment,the two groups displayed decreased TCM syndrome scores,VAS score,WOMAC score,serological indices(P<0.05),and increased Lysholm score(P<0.05),especially for the observation group(P<0.05).No significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions was found between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION For the patients of Wind-Phlegm Blocking Collateral Pattern,Dense Fire-Needling combined with Shentong Zhuyu Decoction can safely and effectively relieve clinical symptoms and pain,improve knee joint functions,enhance clinical effects,and regulate body inflammatory factor levels.
