Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, and seriously affects the quality of life of those affected. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment of KOA has been widely recognized. In recent years, warm needling acupuncture (WNA) has been used to treat KOA and has achieved good results. However, there is a lack of comparison of the efficacy of WNA and other TCM treatments for KOA.
