Osteoarthritis, Central nervous system mechanisms, Acupuncture and moxibustion analgesiaAbstract
OA is considered a non lethal chronic progressive disease with a particularly complex pathogenesis. Current treatment methods mainly aim to delay the progression of the disease, alleviate pain, and improve bone and joint functional activity. Arthritis pain is the most common cause of OA, which is not only related to pathological changes of bone and joint, but also involves complex neural mechanisms. Clarifying this point has guiding significance for the treatment of osteoarthritis. This article will describe the central nervous mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion regulating chronic pain in OA.
