    Abstract
  •   Objective  To explore the effect of fire dragon cupping in patients with Qi stagnation and blood stasis swelling after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), in order to provide reference for swelling management after TKA.  Methods  A total of 88 patients receiving TKA were hospitalized in the Department of Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from June 2022 to December 2023. They were divided into fire dragon cupping group and control group using the random number table methods, with 44 cases in each group. The control group was subjected to routine measures for alleviating swelling, and the fire dragon cupping group was subjected to comprehensive moxibustion and routine measures. The lower extremity circumference and change values, range of motion (ROM), pain scores, adverse events, and completion of the intervention program on days 3 and 7 post-intervention were compared.  Results  Three days after the intervention, the upper 15 cm circumference of the middle point of the patella in the fire dragon cupping group was significantly better than that in the control group [(42.7±3.5) cm vs. (44.7±3.5) cm, F=7.073, P=0.009]. The circumference of 10 cm below the midpoint of the patella was significantly improved compared with the control group [(33.0±2.7) cm vs. (35.3±3.4) cm, F=11.554, P=0.001]. Seven days post-intervention, the circumference 15 cm above the midpoint of the patella [(41.6±4.0) cm vs. (43.7±3.3) cm, F=6.775, P=0.011] and the circumference of 10 cm below the midpoint of patella [(32.4±2.8) cm vs. (34.3±3.2) cm, F=7.765, P=0.007] and the change of circumference diameter were significantly better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The ROM and pain scores of the fire dragon cupping group were better than the control group (P < 0.05). The fire dragon cupping group has completed 43 cases with a completion rate of 97.7%, and no adverse reactions have occurred.  Conclusion  The fire dragon cupping therapy can improve the swelling of the affected limb, improve the range of motion of the knee joint, and alleviate pain after TKA, and it is safe and feasible.
