Brief Summary:
To observe the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on osteoarthritis(OA) and its efficacy on cartilage restoration,acupuncture and physiotherapy treatment were respectively given to two random groups. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was used to evaluate the motor function of knee joints, followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning to measure T2 values in ten cartilage sub-regions in tibiofemoral joints.
Detailed Description:
To observe the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on osteoarthritis and its efficacy on cartilage restoration,one hundred knees of 50 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into acupuncture group and physiotherapy group which were respectively received acupuncture and physiotherapy treatment for four weeks. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was used to evaluate the motor function of knee joints, followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning to measure T2 values in ten cartilage sub-regions in tibiofemoral joints.
