“…Hence, by rolling manipulated around this region, pressing and kneading the acupoints around the knee in this study, these can dredge the channels and promote the circulation of Qi and blood around the knee and disperses stasis. As a result, the channels are cleared and warmed [ 44 , 45 ]. These manipulations were used to reduce swelling, break up adhesions and alleviates pain [ 22 ].…”

Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common degenerative joint condition that causes disability and pain in the elderly population. The prevalence of KOA among persons aged 63 or above is approximately 30%. Previous studies have reported the positive effects of Tui-na treatment and the Chinese herbal formula Du-Huo-Ji-Sheng Decoction (DHJSD) for KOA treatment. The current study aims to evaluate the add-on therapeutic effect of oral administration of DHJSD on KOA in addition to Tui-na. Methods We conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Seventy study subjects with KOA were randomly assigned to the treatment and control groups in a 1:1 ratio. Both two groups received eight sessions of Tui-na manipulation for 4 weeks. The DHJSD was only administered to the study subjects in the treatment group. The primary outcome measure was rated using the WOMAC at the end of treatment (4 weeks). Secondary outcomes were assessed using EQ-5D-5L, a health-related quality of life with 5-level EQ-5D version at end of treatment (week 4) and follow-up (week 8). Results No statistically significant difference was found between two groups on WOMAC scores at the end of treatment. The mean WOMAC Pain subscale score was significantly lower in the treatment group than control group at week 8 follow up (mean difference, MD − 1.8, 95% CI − 3.5 to − 0.02, P = 0.048). The mean WOMAC Stiffness subscale score was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group at week 2 (MD 0.74, 95% CI 0.05 to 1.42, P = 0.035) and week 8 follow up (MD 0.95, 95% CI 0.26 to 1.65, P = 0.008). The mean EQ-5D index value was significantly improved in the treatment group than in the control group at week 2 (MD 0.17, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.31, P = 0.022). The analysis of WOMAC scores and EQ-5D-5L in both groups showed statistically significant improvement with time. No significant adverse effect was found during the trial. Conclusion DHJSD may have an add-on effect in addition to Tui-na manipulation relieving pain and improving stiffness as well as quality of life (QOL) in patients with KOA. The combined treatment was generally safe and well tolerated. Trial registration The study was registered at the ClinicalTrials.gov (website: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04492670, registry number: NCT04492670), registered on 30 July 2020.

Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common degenerative joint condition that causes disability and pain in the elderly population. The prevalence of KOA among persons aged 63 or above is approximately 30%. Previous studies have reported the positive effect of Tui-na treatment and the Chinese herbal formula Du-Huo-Ji-Sheng Decoction (DHJSD) for KOA treatment. However, the therapeutic effects of the combination of these two methods are unknown. The current study aims to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the combined therapy of Tui-na and oral administration of DHJSD on KOA using a randomized controlled design. Methods We conducted a prospective, randomized, wait-list controlled clinical trial. Seventy study subjects with KOA were randomly assigned to the treatment and wait-list control groups in a 1:1 ratio. Both the treatment and wait-list control groups received eight sessions of Tui-na manipulation for 4 weeks. The DHJSD were given to the study subjects in the treatment group, but not the wait-list group. Outcomes were assessed using the WOMAC score and EQ-5D-5L, a health-related quality of life with 5-level EQ-5D version. Results The analysis of WOMAC scores and EQ-5D-5L in both groups showed statistically significant improvement with time. The mean WOMAC Pain subscale score was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the wait-list control group at week 8 follow up (P = 0.048). The mean WOMAC Stiffness subscale score was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the wait-list control group at week 2 and week 8 follow up (P = 0.035 and 0.008). The mean EQ-5D index value was significantly improved in the treatment group than in the wait-list control group at week 2 (P = 0.022). No significant adverse effects were found during the trial. Conclusion Combined Tui-na and the herbal medication were effective in relieving pain and improving stiffness as well as quality of life (QOL) in patients with KOA. The combined treatment was generally safe and well tolerated. Trial registration The study was registered at the ClinicalTrials.gov (website: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04492670, registry number: NCT04492670), registered on 30 July 2020.
