| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To observe the clinical effect of golden paste combined with power bicycle training on knee osteoarthritis（KOA）. [Methods] This study included 74 patients diagnosed with KOA in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of Suzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to June 2022. The patients were divided into the treatment group and the control group by random number table method，37 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with golden paste combined with power bicycle training，while the control group was treated with power bicycle training alone. The course of treatment in both groups was 4 weeks. Visual analogue scale（VAS） scores，knee circumference diameter，The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index（WOMAC） scores，and joint effusion thickness were compared between the two groups before treatment，2 weeks after treatment，and 4 weeks after treatment. [Results] A total of 72 cases were completed，including 35 cases in the control group，2 cases shedding，and 37 cases in the treatment group. Before and after treatment，there were statistically significant differences in VAS scores，knee circumference，WOMAC scores，and joint effusion thickness between the two groups（P<0.05）. There were significant differences in VAS score，knee diameter，WOMAC score and joint effusion thickness between groups before and after treatment（P<0.05）. [Conclusion] Golden paste combined with power bicycle training can not only effectively relieve the pain of KOA patients，but also promote the absorption of joint effusion，and further improve the function of knee joint. |
