ABSTRACT

This meta-analysis mainly investigated the analgesic effect of Li Qi Huo Xue Li Shui method and inducing diuresis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We searched major databases, such as Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, Dutch Medical Literature Database, VIP, Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, etc., and searched each database from the time of establishment of the database to February 2023 for randomized controlled trial (randomized controlled trial) on the effectiveness of Li Qi Huo Xue Li Shui method in treating postoperative pain following total knee arthroplasty. Randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the treatment of postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty was searched from the databases of VIP, Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, etc., and a quantitative meta-analysis of the literature that met the inclusion criteria was carried out by using the software of RevMan 5.3. The results showed that, for the patients' VAS scores at one and two weeks postoperatively, the use of Li Qi Huo Xue Li Shui method and inducing diuresis was better than that of the conventional analgesia group, which was [MD = -0. 67, 95% CI (-1.02, -0. 31) ,P=0. 00002] at one week postoperatively, [MD = -0. 58, 95% CI (-0.89, -0.27) ,P=0. 00002] at two weeks postoperatively, [MD = -0.58, 95% CI (-0.89, -0. 27) ,P=0. 00002] for the HSS scores postoperatively. For the postoperative HSS score, Li Qi Huo Xue Li Shui method was superior to that of the conventional analgesia group [MD = 4. 20, 95% CI ( 2.87, 5.53), P < 0. 00001]. For the postoperative knee circumference, Li Qi Huo Xue Li Shui method was superior to that of the conventional analgesia group [MD= -2.24, 95%CI( -2.74, -1.75), P<0. 00001].Li Qi Huo Xue Li Shui method has significant efficacy in relieving pain after total knee arthroplasty.
