Effects of Nine-step Tuina in Eight Minutes on Ultrasound Perfusion Imaging of Rectus Femoris in Women with Knee Osteoarthritis
To explore the clinical effect of and possible mechanism of nine-step tuina in eight minutes in the treatment of women with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Methods
2
A total of 20 women with KOA were included, whose unilateral knee with more severe pain was given six times of nine-step tuina in eight minutes within 2 weeks. Pain improvement was evaluated using the numerical pain scale (NRS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and the time-to-peak (TTP) and peak intensity (PI) were detected by ultrasound perfusion imaging of the rectus femoris before treatment, after the first treatment and the sixth treatment.
Results
2
Except for one drop-out, 19 patients were included in the statistical analysis. When comparing the results measured at the three time points, there were statistically significant differences in the NRS score (
P
= 0.001). The total WOMAC score (
P
= 0.007), pain domain score (
P
= 0.027) and function domain score (
P
= 0.010) were significantly different except for the stiffness domain score (
P
= 0.378). The results of TTP value measured at the three time points were also not significantly different (
P
= 0.449). There was significantly difference in PI when comparing the results measured at three time points (
P
= 0.039); the PI significantly increased after first treatment than before treatment (
P
= 0.02), while no significant difference was found when comparing the results after sixth treatment than before treatment (
P
= 1.000) and than after first treatment (
P
= 0.200).
Conclusion
2
Nine-step tuina in eight minutes can significantly improve joint pain and joint function in women with KOA, and its mechanism may be related to the improvement of the rectus femoris microcirculation and adjustment of the joint metabolic status.
