Clinical Efficacy of Modified Zhenwutang Combined with Zhengji Technique on Cold-dampness Arthralgia Syndrome Caused by Knee Osteoarthritis at Episode
To study the clinical efficacy of modified Zhenwutang combined with Zhengji technique on cold-dampness arthralgia syndrome caused by knee osteoarthritis (KOA) at episode and the effect on inflammatory factors of joint fluid.
Method:
2
One hundred and forty-eight patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group by random number table. Patients in control group got celecoxib capsules
0.2 g/time
1 time/day
and Zhengji technique with lumbar positioning oblique pulling and finger pressing for 12 times
1 time for every two days
3 times/week. Patients in observation group got modified Zhenwutang
1 dose/day
and the same Zhengji technique. The course of treatment was 4 weeks. Before and after treatment
western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC)
pain and swelling
index of severity of osteoarthritis (ISOA)
local signs of knee joint and cold-dampness obstruction syndrome were scored
and the score of quality of life were discussed by arthritis impact measurement scale 2 (AIMS2-SF). And levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1
β
)
IL-17
tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-
α
)
substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) were detected.
Result:
2
The clinical efficacy in observation group was better than that in control group (
Z
=2.131
P
<
0.05). Scores of pain from WOMAC scale
stiff
joint function and the total score of WOMAC were lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.01)
and scores of pain (walking pain
resting pain
tenderness)
degree of swelling
ISOA
cold-dampness arthralgia syndrome and local signs of knee joint were lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.01). And physical
symptoms
impact
social and work factor scores
the total scores of AIMS2-SF scale
IL-1
β
IL-17
TNF-
α
SP and CGRP were higher than those in control group (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Modified Zhenwutang combined with Zhengji technique can relieve clinical symptoms of patients with cold-dampness arthralgia syndrome caused by knee osteoarthritis (KOA) at episode
ameliorate joint function to improve patients' quality of life
reduce the expression of proinflammatory factors and neuropeptides in synovial fluid
so as to inhibit the inflammatory response and controlling clinical symptoms.
