• It can be said that patients coming to the acupuncture-moxibustion clinic with complaints of arthralgia of the knee number second only to lumbago patients. The clinical reports on this subject are also numerous and generally speak of favorable results. In fact, although we call this problem arthralgia of the knee, the origin or underlyings diseases are various.At this time I performed a pilot experiment and compared results obtained with acupuncture and indirect moxibustion therapy administered to 20 cases each of deformative arthralgia of the knee, a disease which usually strikes after middle age.The treatment method involved stationary insertion of 1.3 TSUN No. 1 needles to a depth of 1-2cm, for a period of 15 minutes.For indirect moxibustion I administered the garlic moxibustion methods I reported at the 24th Japan Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society Congress. Treatment points were selected from points of tenderness, induration or muscle tendon in the afflicted area.Results in the cases in which cure was obtained showed the number of acupuncture treatments averaged 8.3 and the number of moxibustion treatments 9.7times. Also results compared from a patient questionnaire distributed after the 3rd treatment that is before the 4th treatment indicated in each of th 20 examples improvement in 18.11 cases in the acupuncture group and 17.17 cases in the moxibustion group. Thus there was no significant difference indicated between the two treatment groups. In both cases treatment could be considered similarly effective.
