Abstract
    [Objective] To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation combined with Chinese herbal ointment on early functional recovery after total knee arthroplasty.[Methods] The 81 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty(TKA) in our department were studied,including 41 patients in the test group and 40 patients in the control group. After the operation,the patients in the control group received routine functional exercise,and the experimental group received transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation combined with traditional Chinese ointment massage treatment on the basis of the control group. The severity of knee pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) and pain threshold on day 1,3,7and 14 after surgery,and the knee function was evaluated by the HSS knee function score standard on day 7 and 14 after surgery.[Results] On the first day after surgery,there was no statistically significant difference between two groups in knee pain VAS score and pain threshold(P>0.05). On the 3,7 and 14 day after surgery,VAS score in the experimental group and control group (P<0.05),the pain threshold was higher than the control group (P<0.05);on day 7 and 14 after surgery,knee HSS scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).[Conclusion] Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation combined with Chinese ointment can effectively relieve early pain after total knee arthroplasty and promote functional rehabilitation activities of the knee joint.
