Objective To observe clinical therapeutic effects of integrative acupuncture therapy on gonarthrosis. Methods One hundred and sixty cases of gonarthrosis were randomly divided into two groups （80 cases in each group） ： an observation group treated by electroacupuncture （EA） plus massage at points and a control group treated with conventional medicine. Results In the observation group, the cured rate was 57.50%, and the effective rate was 88.75%. In the control group, the cured rate was 36.25%, and the effective rate was 73.75%. The differences between the two groups in the cured rate and the total effective rate were of significance （X^2-test, P〈0. 01, P〈0.05）. Conclusion EA combined with massage at points is definitely effective in treating gonarthrosis.
