Effect of Gubi Recipe in Treating Knee Osteoarthritis with Symptom of Kidney Deficiency and Collateral Obstruction
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Guibi recipe on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) with symptom of kidney deficiency and collaterals obstruction
in order to evaluate the effectiveness and safety. Method: In this study
60 cases of KOA with symptom of kidney deficiency and collateral obstruction were included
and divided into treatment group (30) taking Guibi recipe and control group (30) taking glucosamine sulfate
0.5 g/times
3 times/day. The treatment source was 3 months. The changes in visual analogue scale/score (VAS)
the Western Ontario and McMaster (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score
erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the two groups were observed before and after treatment
so as to compare the TCM syndrome efficacy and disease efficacy differences of the two groups; meanwhile the adverse reactions were also observed. Result: Comparison of TCM syndromes
the total effective rate in treatment group was 100%
which was higher than 88.3% in control group (P<0.01). Comparison of disease efficacy
the total effective rate in the treatment group was 100%
which was higher than 76.7% in the control group (P<0.01). Compared with before treatment
knee pain
knee swelling
knee flexion and extension
lower limb weakness
lumbar soreness
chills
VAS score and WOMAC index of joint pain
functional integral
stiffness integral and total score of the two groups of patients decreased (P<0.05
P<0.01). Compared with control group
knee pain
knee swelling
knee flexion and extension adverse
lumbar soreness
chills
VAS score
WOMAC index stiffness score of the treatment group of patients significantly reduced (P<0.05
P<0.01); lower limb weakness and total score
pain
functional score of WOMAC index slightly decreased. Activity indicators comparison
ESR
CRP of the treatment group and the control group were improved (P<0.05
P<0.01)
but with no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Gubi recipe can effectively control KOA
