Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of iontophoresis with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)based on the theory of midnight-noon ebb-flow hour-prescription(MNEF)in the treatment of knee arthralgia in senile patients. Methods 〓Totally 60 elderly patients with knee arthralgia were assigned to the control group(n=30)and the observation group(n=30). Patients in the control group were treated with routine nursing care and TCM iontophoresis therapy, and those of the observation group were treated with TCM iontophoresis in the period from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. To evaluate the curative effect of the TCM intervention, and to compare the knee osteoarthritis score of Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA)and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)on pain between two groups. Results After 1 course of intervention, the curative effect of the observation group was superior to that of controls(P0.05). Patients of the observation group achieved a higher knee osteoarthritis outcome score(13.41±1.83 vs. 11.07±1.48, P0.05)and a lower VAS score(2.97±1.06 vs. 3.53±1.04, P0.05)compared with that of controls. Conclusion The TCM iontophoresis based on MNEF theory is effective in the treatment of knee arthralgia in senile patients.
