AB - Objectives :This paper investigates the effectiveness of TDP devices on the osteoarthritis of knee joint among more than 60-aged women patients.
Methods :Randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness between acupuncture group(ACU group) and acupuncture plus Tending Diancibo Pu(TDP group). Subjects of the research were 74 persons(divided into ACU group 37 persons and TDP group 30 persons) via three local oriental medicine clinic from January 2012 to April 2008. A total of 7 subjects of TDP group were dropped out. ACU group and TDP group were treated by each intervention three times a week for 4 weeks. The primary outcome was measured using visual analogue scale(VAS) per visit, and the secondary outcome was investigated using The Western Ontario and McMaster universities arthritis index(WOMAC) once a week.
Results :Our research shows that there were significant statistically between ACU and TDP group from visit 3 to visit 13 in the VAS, and the difference of VAS (baseline-each visit) in the within-group were significant at every visit. Additionally, It was reported that there were significant statistically between ACU and TDP group from visit 7 to visit 13 in the WOMAC score, and the difference of WOMAC score(baseline-each visit) in the within-group were significant at every visit.
Conclusions :It could be concluded that TDP plus acupuncture is more effective than only acupuncture in more than 60-aged women patients with knee osteoarthritis.
