    Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of hot application of Chinese herbal medicine hard paste on knee osteoarthritis of qi stagnation and blood stasis type.Methods Sixty patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis type knee osteoarthritis admitted to the Pain Department of The First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine from September 2022 to September 2023 were selected as study subjects. They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, 30 cases each, using the random number table method. The control group received conventional treatment, and the observation group added hot compresses with Chinese herbal medicine hard paste on the basis of conventional treatment, and both groups were treated once a day for two consecutive weeks. Observation indexes included visual analogue score (VAS), osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) score, clinical efficacy, blood sedimentation, C-reactive protein and so on.Results After treatment, the effective rate of the treatment group was 95% (28/34), which was significantly higher than that of the control group, which was 80% (24/30) (P<0.05), and the VAS, WOMAC scores, blood sedimentation, and C-reactive protein of the two groups were all significantly decreased compared with those of the pre-treatment period (P<0.05), with a significant decrease in the observation group compared with that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Hot application of Chinese herbal medicine hard paste can improve joint function and reduce pain in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee with qi stagnation and blood stasis, and can be popularized and applied in clinic.

NoteEx-press is used to merge and eliminate duplication, and CiteSpace 6.2.R3 software is used to visually analyze authors, institutions and keywords and draw knowledge maps.Results A total of 1769 articles were included, and the overall number of published articles show-ed an upward trend. China Journal of Anorectal Diseases (61 articles) is the most frequen-tly published source journal. The author who has published the most articles is Li Chung-eng (7 articles); A total of 511 institutions were included, of which Tangshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was the most published institution.
