Osteoarthritis of the Knees

Study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a drug called CX-011 to treat pain in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Osteoarthritis produces pain in the knee (and other joints) that typically is worsened by activities such as long distance walking and is alleviated by rest.

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dose of AD-211 in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.

The main question of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) through a single-blind, randomized controlled trial divided into two groups. Patients in both groups received a total of 24 acupuncture treatments over an 8-week period. The differences in knee NRS score, WOMAC index, walking test, mental health assessment and other indicators between the acupuncture group and the sham acupuncture group before and after treatment were compared to provide high-quality evidence to support the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating KOA.
