Chondromalacia patellae treated by warming needle and rehabilitation training
Objective:
To observe the effect of warming needle combined with rehabilitation training on chondromalacia patellae in a randomized controlled trial.
Methods:
The 92 cases were randomly divided into a treatment group treated by warming needle plus rehabilitation training (47 cases) and a control group treated by medication plus rehabilitation training (45 cases), and the therapeutic effect was compared after 20 sessions.
Results:
The pain was relieved more obviously in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05), and the total effective rate was 91.8% and 71.1% respectively (P < 0.01).
Conclusion:
Warming needle plus rehabilitation training was superior in the therapeutic effect and duration of producing relief of pain to medication plus rehabilitation training in treating chondromalacia patellae.
