Abstract:Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion combined with electroacupuncture in the treatment of KOA. Methods: 78 KOA patients who met the corresponding criteria were enrolled in the combined group and the basic group, 39 cases in each group. The patients in the basic group were treated with simple comprehensive conservative therapy of Western medicine, and the patients in the combined group were treated with sea mud moxibustion and electro-acupuncture besides the basic group. Both groups were treated for 10 days as a course of treatment, with three courses of treatment. Results: After treatment, the level of inflammatory factors in knee joint fluid of the two groups decreased only to a certain extent in the basic group (P < 0.05), while that in the combined group decreased significantly (P < 0.01), and the reduction in the combined group was more obvious than that in the basic group (P < 0.05). In terms of KOA severity score, both groups decreased after treatment (P < 0.05), and compared with the basic group, the combined group decreased more significantly (P < 0.01). The scores of knee joint motor function in both groups decreased after treatment (P < 0.05), and the reduction of joint group was more obvious than that of basic group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of the combined group was higher than that of the basic group (P < 0.05), and the recovery rate of the combined group was higher than that of the basic group (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion and external application combined with electro-acupuncture on KOA is remarkable.
