Brief Summary:
Given the lack of studies in the literature associating the use of acupuncture and sliding suction cup in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis, the objective of this study is to evaluate the benefits of this association in patients of the Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology outpatient clinic of the University of São Paulo while awaiting surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis as a method of pain relief, limb function improvement and quality of life.
Detailed Description:
120 patients with indications for surgical knee treatment from IOT-HCFMUSP will be invited to participate in the project. Inclusion applications and those who agree to sign a free and informed consent form (IC) will be included.
