Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical value of Glucosamine hydrochloride tablets(GH)alone and combination with Xianlinggubao capsules(XLGB)for treatment patients with knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods 96 patients with KOA were selected,and were divided into two groups according to the random number method, 48 cases in each group.The control group was treated with GH alone,while the observation group was treated with XL-GB on the basis of the control group.US Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were used to evaluate the symptoms change,including pain,stiffness,physical function scores and total scores before and after treatment.The onset time,knee function (HSS)score at 3 months and 6 months after treatment were recor-ded.CRP and ESR were measured,and the total efficacy was evaluated at the end of treatment.Results The differ-ence of WOMAC score between the two groups was not statistically significant before treatment (P >0.05 ).After treatment,pain,stiffness,physical function scores and total scores were (10.2 ±1.4)points,(3.5 ±1.6)points, (40.5 ±5.0)points and (56.4 ±6.7)points in the observation group,those were (14.8 ±2.6)points,(6.2 ±2.3)points, (52.2 ±6.8)points and (73.3 ±4.5)points in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t =7.631,4.721,6.791,10.26,all P <0.01).The onset time,HSS score at 3 months and 6 months after treatment in the observation group were (6.0 ±2.2)d,(68.2 ±6.4)points and (84.3 ±6.2)points,while those were (9.8 ± 2.8)d,(58.5 ±3.9)points and (72.8 ±5.4)points in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t =5.228,6.341,6.852,all P <0.01 ).The improvements of CRP level and ESR in the observation group were more pronounced than those in the control group (t =3.880,2.668,all P <0.05).After treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 93.8%(45 /48),while that was 77.1%(37 /48)in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =5.352,P <0.05).Conclusion GH combines with XLGB can significantly improve symptoms in patients with KOA,with more rapid recovery of knee function,thus it is a safe and effective therapy.
