English to Swedish: Osteoarthritis Patients Treated with Acupuncture Show Improvement; 11/20/2006: Arthritis and Rheumatism 2006:54(11):3485-3493 General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English "Patients with chronic pain due to OA of the knee or the hip who were treated with acupuncture in addition to routine care showed significant improvements in symptoms and quality of life compared with patients who received routine care alone," the authors state. This was true for both the randomized and the non-randomized groups. Furthermore, patients in the control group who received acupuncture only after three months showed similar improvements at six months. In addition, WOMAC and SF-36 scores at six months were only slightly lower than at three months for those receiving acupuncture right away.
Translation - Swedish "Patienter med kronisk smärta på grund av knä- eller höftartros som behandlades med akupunktur som tillägg till rutinmässig vård visade signifikant förbättring beträffande symptom och livskvalitet jämfört med patienter som enbart erhöll sedvanlig behandling," uppger författarna. Detta gällde för de randomiserade så väl som icke-randomiserade grupperna. Vidare visade patienterna i kontrollgruppen, som erhöll akupunktur först efter tre månader, liknande förbättringar vid sex månader. Dessutom var WOMAC och SF-36 scoren bara något lägre vid sex månader jämfört med vid tre månader hos dessa som fått akupunktur från första början.
