摘要
This retrospective study aimed to compare the effects of acupotomy combined with intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate (IA-SH) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Eighty electronic medical records of patients with KOA were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into an intervention group (n = 40, acupotomy plus IA-SH) and a control group (n = 40, IA-SH). Outcome measures included the visual analog scale, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), and adverse events. Outcome data were collected and analyzed before and after treatment. The results of this study showed that there was a greater reduction in the visual analog scale (P < .01) and WOMAC scores (pain, P < .01; stiffness, P < .01; function, P < .01; total, P < .01) in the intervention group than in the control group. In addition, there were no significant differences in adverse events between the 2 groups. In this study, the effects of acupotomy plus IA-SH were superior to those of IA-SH alone for the treatment of patients with KOA. Further prospective studies are required to confirm these findings.
