- Abstract
Objective To study the efficacy of the self-made external bone-knitting ointment combined with the dispelling wind to relieve pain capsule on the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in the clinic. Methods Eighty out-and in-hospital patients with knee osteoarthritis during June 2010 to June 2013 were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, with 40 cases in each group. Patients in the treatment group received the self-made external bone-knitting ointment combined with the dispelling wind to relieve pain capsule. Patients in the control group received glucosamine sulfate capsules and enteric-coated diclofenac sodium tablets orally. One course of treatment lasted for 12 weeks. The efficacy was followed up and compared between the groups after the treatment. Results The efficacy in the treatment group was 87.5%, which was better than that in the control group (χ2 =10.6, P < 0.05). The symptoms and signs between the treatment group and the control group were statistically significant (t = 3.35, P < 0.05). After the treatment, the Womac arthritis index score and the severity of KOA treatment index between the treatment group and the control group were statistically significant (t = 4.14 P < 0.05). Conclusion The use of the self-made external bone-knitting ointment combined with the dispelling wind to relieve pain capsule significantly relieves the clinical symptoms and improves the function of the knee joint in patients with osteoarthritis.
