  Abstract: Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture combined with massage therapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, and to analyze the efficacy-value. Methods: A total of 120 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into electroacupuncture group and sodium hyaluronate group, with 60 cases in each group. The electroacupuncture group was treated 3 times a week for 3 weeks. The sodium hyaluronate group was injected with sodium hyaluronate injection in the joint cavity once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. The knee function scores and effective rate of the two groups before and after treatment were observed, and the differences between the two treatments were compared by using the health economics evaluation method. Results: Compared with the two groups before and after treatment, the knee function score was significantly improved (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in post-treatment functional scores between the two groups (P<0.05). The effective rate of electroacupuncture was 96.66 % in the electroacupuncture group and 82.75 % in the sodium hyaluronate group, the incidence of adverse reactions in the sodium hyaluronate group was 8.62 %, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). In terms of efficacy and value, the hyaluronic acid injection group was better than the acupuncture group. Conclusion: Electroacupuncture and sodium hyaluronate intra-articular injection can effectively improve joint pain and joint function in patients, and intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate has a higher incidence of adverse reactions. Electroacupuncture combined with massage therapy needs to continue to optimize the treatment plan to be more in line with the principles of health economics.
