ABSTRACT

In order to observe the clinical effect of Wuling San and Taohong siwu Decoction combined with western medicines on synovial inflammation of knee osteoarthritis. 60 patients with cold-dampness obstruction type knee osteoarthritis with synovitis treated in Guangyuan Hospital Affiliated to Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was treated by western medicines, and the experimental group was treated with Wuling San and Taohongsiwu Decoction on the basis of control group. After 14 days, VAS score, WOMAC score, knee circumference and functional index of the two groups were observed, and adverse reactions were monitored. Resultly, after treatment, all indexes were improved compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, all indexes of the experimental group were better than those of the control group (P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions during treatment in both groups. In conclusion, Wuling San and Taohongsiwu Decoction combined with western medicines can significantly reduce the pain and swelling of patients with knee osteoarthritis accompanied by synovial inflammation (cold-dampness obstruction type) and improve the joint function.
