AIMS
Osteoarthritis is the most degenerative joint disease. The aim was to investigate the effects of ultrasound using mineral water or aqua sonic gel on severity of knee pain, measured by the visual analog scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Thirty women with bilateral osteoarthritis of the knee were assigned to two groups: ultrasound with mineral water (group 1, n = 15) or with aqua sonic gel (group 2, n = 15). Both groups underwent 4 weeks intervention, three per week. The participants were assessed using the visual analog scale and the WOMAC. Tests were performed before and after interventions.
RESULTS
Both groups had significantly reduced pain and improved WOMAC compared with preintervention values.
DISCUSSION
The ultrasound with mineral water group had more pronounced improvement at p-value < 0.001.
CONCLUSION
Ultrasound with mineral water is preferable in treatment of knee OA.
目的
骨关节炎是最常见的退行性关节疾病。本研究旨在通过视觉模拟评分法以及西安大略和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数（WOMAC）来调查使用矿泉水或水基超声凝胶进行超声治疗对膝关节疼痛严重程度的影响。
材料与方法
30名双侧膝关节骨关节炎女性被分为两组：使用矿泉水进行超声治疗的组1（n = 15）和使用水基超声凝胶进行超声治疗的组2（n = 15）。两组均接受为期4周的干预，每周3次。使用视觉模拟评分法和WOMAC对参与者进行评估。在干预前后进行测试。
结果
与干预前相比，两组的疼痛均显著减轻，WOMAC评分均有所改善。
讨论
在p值<0.001时，使用矿泉水进行超声治疗的组改善更为明显。
结论
在治疗膝关节骨关节炎方面，使用矿泉水进行超声治疗更为可取。
