Fu's Subcutaneous Needling Treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The population affected by degenerative knee arthritis is very large. The investigator performed Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN). This experiment used a randomized single-blind experiment to assess the immediate, short-term and long-term effects of Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) therapy on patellar pain in patients with degenerative arthritis.

Clinical Trial Description

The population affected by degenerative knee arthritis is very large. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the prevalence of osteoarthritis of the knee in Taiwan is about 3.5 million people, accounting for about 15% of the total population. Its effects are a heavy burden on socio-economic costs, and in addition to being included in medical expenses, serious cases can lead to incapacity to work; therefore, the disease is an important factor in causing disability and disability First, it is worth our attention. Floating needle is a kind of dry needle therapy, which has been used in the treatment of degenerative arthritis for more than 20 years. It has been clearly annotated in the treatment strategy that it uses disposable floating needle needles at the superficial subcutaneous fascia, Parallel to the muscle to sweep away, and with reperfusion activities, muscle pain caused by muscle fascia and soft tissue pain with immediate and good pain relief effect, but still lack of treatment and rigorous evaluation of the establishment. For the reasons of the degenerative arthritis pain, the clinical observation is not entirely due to the cause of joint deformity or cartilage damage, soft tissue lesions around the knee is also a common source of pain, the use of floating needle for the diagnosis of soft tissue injury , And observed its efficacy, which is also the core of this study. This experiment used a randomized single-blind experiment to assess the immediate, short-term and long-term effects of floating needle therapy on patellar pain in patients with degenerative arthritis. The assessment tools included the VAS, WOMAC , Lesquesne index, the Muscle Tension Changes in the Lower Extremities, and Gyko . ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
