背景：推拿疗法是治疗骨关节炎(OA)的一种有吸引力的治疗方法，但其疗效尚不确定。我们进行了一项随机对照的膝关节骨性关节炎推拿治疗试验。方法：68例经放射学证实的成人膝关节骨性关节炎患者被分配到治疗组(第1-4周每周两次标准瑞典按摩，第5-8周每周一次)或对照组(延迟干预)。主要结果是西安大略大学和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数(WOMAC)、疼痛和功能评分以及疼痛评估的视觉模拟评分的变化。样本提供了80%的统计能力来检测两组之间在WOMAC和视觉模拟量表上与基线的变化之间的20分差异，2-尾阿尔法为0.05。结果：接受推拿治疗的组在WOMAC总分的平均(SD)上有显著的改善(-17.44[23.61]mm；P
Background: Massage therapy is an attractive treatment option for osteoarthritis (OA), but its efficacy is uncertain. We conducted a randomized, controlled trial of massage therapy for OA of the knee.Methods: Sixty-eight adults with radiographically confirmed OA of the knee were assigned either to treatment (twice-weekly sessions of standard Swedish massage in weeks 1-4 and once-weekly sessions in weeks 5-8) or to control (delayed intervention). Primary outcomes were changes in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain and functional scores and the visual analog scale of pain assessment. The sample provided 80% statistical power to detect a 20-point difference between groups in the change from baseline on the WOMAC and visual analog scale, with a 2-tailed alpha of .05.Results: The group receiving massage therapy demonstrated significant improvements in the mean (SD) WOMAC global scores (-17.44 [23.61] mm; P
