Previous issue date: 2001-09-28 === The aim of the present study is to evaluate the result of the knee pain treatment using The Opposite Side Technique from the Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Thirty-six patients with unilateral gonalgia were studied. 44.44% (16) with osteoarthrosis, 30.55% (11) with patella femural osteoarthrosis, 11.11% (4) with severe osteoarthrosis, 11.11% (4) with patella chrondomalacy and 2.77% (1) with synovial plica.
The patients were divided in two groups: Group I (Acupuncture) were eighteen, who submitted to 20 acupuncture sessions, where it was used points of counter to lateral acupuncture to the affected knee and acupuncture points to the distance according to the Traditional Chinese Medicine and to the acupuncture neurophisiologic action standard to select these points for the treatment, and Group II (Phisiotherapy) also eighteen, who submitted to 20 physiotherapeutic sessions and antiinflamatory non steroid (AINS) medicines.
According to the results from the statistical analysis, non-parametric, of the subjective data (the intensity of the described pain, difficulty in walking, in crouching, in going upstairs and downstairs, in running, in jumping, in claudicant motion, in making use of some walking support) as the objective parameters ( the restriction of the flexional moviment and also the one of the knee extension moviment, and the arc moviment) showed good results in all the studied parameters. The most refractory parameters were the objective ones above mentioned.
The Jue Yin (Liver) energetic channel of the foot showed to be the most affected (22.22%), followed by the associations of the Jue Yin (Liver) and the Tae Yang (Bladder) energetic channel of the foot (22.22%), the Jue Yin (Liver) and the Yang Ming (Stomach) of the foot (16.66%), and the Jue Yin (Liver) and the Shao Yang (Gall Bladder) of the foot (11.11%), and another associations (16.66%).
The false-Yang (52.77%) characteristics of disorders were the predominant in relation to the energetic ones followed by the Yin (33.33%) and the Yang (13.88%) disorders of the patients. === O presente estudo teve a finalidade de avaliar a eficácia da acunputura no pós-operatório das cirurgias artroscópicas no joelho utilizando - se a técnica "ao oposto" da medicina tradicional chinesa. As 36 gonalgias estudadas foram distribuídas conforme a patologia encontrada nas artroscópicas cirúrgicas: 50,0% tinham lesão do menisco medial isolada, 19,44% tinham lesão meniscal associada à artrose de joelho, 11,11% tinham lesão meniscal lateral associada à artrose de joelho, 8,33% tinham lesão meniscal lateral isolada de joelho, 2,77% apresentavam lesão em ambos os menisco associados à artrose de joelho, 2,77% apresentavam condromalácea de patela e 2,77% eram portador de corpo livre. Os pacientes foram dividos em dois grupos. Todos os pacientes do grupo i (acunputura) 18 foram submetidos a 20 sessões de acunputura, utilizando-se pontos de acunputura, utilizando-se pontos de acunputura contra-lateral ao joelho afetado, e os pacientes do grupo ii (fisioterapia), 18, foram submetidos a 20 sessões de fisioterapia, associadas a anti-inflamatórios não esteroídes (aine).
Nota de Resumo A análise estatística não paramétrica dos resultados obtidos nos dados subjetivos (intensidade da dor relatada, dificuldade de andar, de agachar, de subir e descer degraus, de correr, de uso de apoio a marcha), como os parâmetros objetivos (limitação do movimento de flexão, extensão, arco de movimento, edema, derrame e trofismo de joelho) evidenciaram bons resultados na maioria dos parâmetros estudados. Embora os resultados fossem semelhantes, a acunputura apresentou melhores resultados do tratamento mais precocemente, enquanto a fisioterapia mais tardiamente.
