Methods:Sixty patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into control group and observation group,30 cases in each group. The control group received oral glucosamine hydrochloride capsule and computerized intermediate frequency treatment. The observation group received acupoint massage with stone needles along the meridian once a day on the basis of the control group,for 2 courses of intervention,which including 7 days for 1 course of treatment. The scores of Western Ontario and Mc-Master Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were compared after 1 course and 2 courses of treatment,respectively. Scores of the Short Form of the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales 2 (AIMS2-SF) were compared after 2 courses of treatment. Results:The scores of WOMAC,VAS,and AIMS2-SF in the two groups after the intervention were significantly different from those in the same group before intervention (P<0. 05) . After the intervention,the WOMAC score and VAS score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0. 05) ;the AIMS2-SF score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0. 05) . Conclusions:The acupoint massage with stone needles along the meridian could relieve the pain symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and improve joint function and quality of life.
