Abstract:
[Objective]To systematically evaluate the effect of different traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)appropriate techniques on patients with knee osteoarthritis of cold-dampness obstruction type,so as to provide evidence-based clinical practice.[Methods]Databases including PubMed,Web of Science Core Collection,CINAHL Complete,Embase,Science Direct,Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP and SinoMed were searched for literature on the intervention effect of TCM appropriate techniques on patients with knee osteoarthritis of cold-dampness obstruction type.The retrieval time was from January 1,2019 to July 18,2024.Two researchers independently screened the literature,extracted the data and evaluated the quality of the literature.RevMan 5.4 software was used for traditional Meta-analysis,and Stata 17.0 software was used for network Meta-analysis.[Results]A total of 33 studies were included,involving 3 154 patients and 13 TCM appropriate techniques.Network Meta-analysis showed that acupoint application combined with Chinese medicine fumigation and washing had the best effect in relieving knee joint symptoms,and the surface under the cumulative ranking(SUCRA)was 92.7%,moxibustion combined with Chinese medicine iontophoresis had the best effect in improving clinical efficacy,and the SUCRA was 86.8%.[Conclusion]The existing research shows that acupoint application combined with Chinese medicine fumigation and washing can effectively relieve the knee joint symptoms of patients with knee osteoarthritis of cold-dampness obstruction type,and moxibustion combined with Chinese medicine iontophoresis can effectively improve the clinical efficacy.The combined use of different TCM appropriate techniques is better than the single use.It is suggested that the clinical medical staff can implement comprehensive TCM appropriate techniques based on TCM syndrome differentiation,so as to improve the clinical efficacy and nursing quality of patients with cold-dampness obstruction type knee osteoarthritis.
