Abstract
Aim - The aim of this work is to present the results
of the researched group of patients treated with fire
needles and fire cupping in knee osteoarthritis and
to explain the methods of the treatment.
Methods - Treatments were done in a clinic for
TCM and acupuncture in Skopje by a doctor
specialist in acupuncture, indoor on a room
temperature with duration of 20-30 minutes. In all
patients was applied acupuncture treatment with
fire needles on certain trigger points - Ashi, with
duration of 10-15 minutes and fire cupping with
duration of 5-10 minutes at the same points. One
specific point which is located on the inside side of
the knee was treated in all patients. The research
includes 32 patients, of which 21 women and 11
men, on age from 33 to 78.
Results - All painful symptoms that patients
complained before were gone (pain in the knee,
edema, limited motion, numbness, loss of balance,
insomnia), therefore the treatments have been
effective in all patients.
Conclusion - Combined treatment of fire needle
acupuncture with fire cupping is one of the most
commonly used in knee osteoarthritis and thus
gives most satisfactory results in the treated
patients so far
