Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a randomized, single blind, controlled trial. Aim to compare the effectiveness (especially the absorption degree of the synovial effusion measured by B ultrasonic) of the treatment group with the control group. The treatment group was given Xiao zhong fang granules orally and short wave infrared radiation and the control group was given the placebo Xiao zhong fang granules orally and short wave infrared radiation. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the Chinese medicine in the treatment of the synovial effusion of knee osteoarthritis.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Walther grading of synovial effusion of Knee joint
Time Frame: After treatment(28days)
The Walther grading standard of the synovial effusion of the knee joint (measuring the anterior and posterior diameter of the effusion): the 0 level is the joint cavity without effusion or the expansion of joint capsule\<2mm; the grade I is a small amount of effusion, the expansion of joint capsule is 2mm-5mm; the grade II is a medium amount of effusion, the expansion of joint capsule is 6mm-10mm; the grade III is a large amount of effusion, and the joint capsule expands \>10mm.
