    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical therapeutic effects of warming needle moxibustion and acupuncture plus TDP radiation on knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: Eighty cases conforming with the diagnostic criteria for knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into a warming needle moxibustion group and an acupuncture plus TDP radiation group. In the two groups, Dubi (ST 35), Xiyan (EX-LE), Yanglingquan (GB 34),etc. were selected and the treatment was given once every other day, 10 sessions constituting one course. After treatment of 2 courses, their therapeutic effects were compared. RESULTS: The clinically basic recovery rate was 30.0% in the warming needle moxibustion group and 10.0% in the acupuncture plus TDP radiation group, with a very significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Warming needle moxibustion is an effective therapy for knee osteoarthritis.
