Clinical Analysis on Bogu Huoxue Decoction Combined with Glucosamine Hydrochloride Tablets in Treating 48 Cases with Knee Osteoarthritis
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Bogu Huoxue decoction combined with glucosamine hydrochloride tablets in treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and its influence on interleukin-1β(IL-1β)
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
matrix metalloproteinases-3 (MMP-3)
matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors-1 (TIMP-1). Method: Totally 96 patients with KOA were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group
with 48 patients in each group. The control group was orally administered with glucosamine hydrochloride tablets (480 mg/time
tid). Based on the therapy of the control group
the observation group was additionally given Bogu Huoxue decoction (1 dose/d). Both groups were treated for six weeks. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score were recorded before and after the treatment. The levels of IL-1β
TNF-α
MMP-3
TIMP-1 of the patients were detected before and after the treatment. Result: The obvious curative rate was 72.92% in the observation group
which was higher than 39.58% of the control group (P<0.05). The VAS scores in both groups were lower than before the treatment (P<0.01). The VAS score in the observation group was obviously lower than that of the control group at the 3rd and 6th week after the treatment (P<0.01). The score for daily activities
pain score
joint stiffness score and total integral of the observation group were lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). The TNF-α
IL-1β
MMP-3 in the synovial fluid in the observation group were lower than that in the control group (P<0.01)
but with the level of TIMP-1 higher than the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Bogu Huoxue decoction combined with glucosamine hydrochloride tablets in the treatment of KOA can significantly relieve postoperative arthralgia and ankylosis and improve daily movement
with superior clinical efficiency to glucosamine hydrochloride tablets. Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the levels of IL-1β
TNF-α
MMP-3 in the synovial fluid and the increase in TIMP-1.
