Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammatory joint disorders, often affecting multiple joints, particularly the knees. Patients often experience issues such as joint pain, swelling, and limited mobility. As the disease progresses, their quality of life is significantly affected. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the meridian sinew theory, as an important component, emphasizes the relationship between meridians, muscles, and fascia, offering unique advantages in treating joint diseases. In recent years, a growing number of studies have begun to focus on the application value of the meridian-sinew theory in knee joint damage caused by rheumatoid arthritis, and to explore its potential integration with modern medicine. This article aims to review the meridian sinew theory and its research progress in the treatment of knee joint damage caused by rheumatoid arthritis.
