Comparison of Acupuncture Therapy and Warm Water Compress to Decrease WOMAC Score in Knee Osteoarthritis Case (ICD 10 CM.M17.9) in Jumantono Karanganyar
Abstract
Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a disease of the joints and bones in the form of damage and inflammation in the cartilage of the joints. Knee osteoarthritis can be intervened non-pharmacological with acupuncture or warm water compresses. The WOMAC index was developed to assess pain in patients with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis. This study aims to determine the comparison of acupuncture and warm water compresses to the decrease in WOMAC score in cases of knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: : The design of this study uses an experimental design in the form of a two-group pretest-postest design. Group 1 was given acupuncture therapy at Xiyan (EX-LE5), Zusanli (ST36), and Sanyinjiao (SP6) points, while group 2 was given warm water compresses. The population in the study is the community in Duwetan Ngunut Jumantono, Karanganyar. The sampling technique was Simple Random Sampling for 40 research subjects.
Results: There was a difference in WOMAC scores after the intervention between acupuncture therapy and warm water compresses (p<0.001). The average decrease in WOMAC score in cases of Knee Osteoarthritis after acupuncture therapy decreased more, namely 13.05 points (38.40 ± 4.24 vs 25.35 ± 3.92) compared to warm water compresses, which was 2.65 points (38.20 ± 4.60 vs 35.55 ± 4.54).
Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy is more effective against reducing WOMAC scores in cases of Knee Osteoarthritis compared to warm water compresses.
