Sponsor's own description

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis is a long-term rheumatic disease with a significant impact on the patient's quality of life and the socio-economic development of societies. The usual treatment consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as a palliative measure. The decrease in the beneficial effect and the appearance of serious long-term adverse effects make it necessary to look for other therapeutic procedures. Acupuncture is a non-pharmacological treatment that could reduce pain and improve functionality in this condition, however current scientific evidence is limited. A previous study has observed a clinical improvement in the combination of sensitized local and peripheral points in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis but studies with a larger sample are needed to confirm these results. Objective: Assess the effectiveness of acupuncture using a combination of local and peripheral sensitized points in the treatment of active knee osteoarthritis. Methods: A randomized clinical trial will be performed in a hospital centre with 2 groups. The control group will standard treatment plus transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, while the intervention group will receive acupuncture in addition to standard care. Study outcomes will be pain, quality of life, function, exercise adherence, drug intake, adverse effects, and body mass index. There will be a 12-month post-intervention follow-up.
