入选标准

  • This is a pilot study - the size of any effect not known. Volunteers will be recruited from the rheumatology outpatients clinics at Selly Oak Hospital. We anticipate about 10 patients per group will be sufficient to enable a power calculation to be made. They must have osteoarthritis of the knee, and find that their pain is not well controlled by conventional medicine. They must be over 18 years of age.

排除标准

  • Patients will be excluded if they have any of the following: rheumatoid arthritis, Gout, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis of the hip, patients with pacemakers fitted, patients with known metal allergies, patients with an history of prosthetic or damaged valves, patients with hemophilia, patients taking an anticoagulant or oral corticosteroid, patients suffering with dementia or other psychiatric disease, patients with Grade I or IV on the Kellgren & Lawrence scale, patients with uncontrolled diabetes and patients with a skin disease likely to affect the use of the acupuncture needles.
