The Clinical Research On The Treatment Of Ankylosing Spondylitis With Warming Yang And Removing Dampness And Activating Blood Circulation And Stimulating Meridians Method.

Objective : To oberserve the therapecitic effects of Warming yang and removing dampness and activating blood circulation and stimulating meridians Method in treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and ESR,CRP,IgA of cold-damp arthralgia syndrome.METHODS: Chooses 60 cases masculine patients which to conform to the Inclusive criteria and Diagnostic Criteria of the Ankylosing Spondylitisthe as the research object. Followed random principles, 60 clinical cases were divided into a experiment group and a control group. Experiment group was treated with Warming yang and removing dampness and activating blood circulation and stimulating meridians method, and the control group was treated with sulfasalazine (SASP). The treatment lasted for 3 months. Before and after 3 months' treatment, the following parameters were observed: BASFI,BASDAI,the parameters as low back pain,duration of back early morning stiffness ( EMS),finger to floor distance,occiput to wall distance,Schober's test,ESR,CRP and IgA,the routine blood and urine test as well as the renal and liver function test were observed.Results: Significant improvements were observed in BASFI,BASDAI,EMS,finger to floor distance,ESR,CRP and IgA , also the experiment group surpasses the control group(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in improvements of the Schober's test and occiput to wall distance ( P> 0.05 ) . The total effective rate in the experiment group and the control group was93.34% an 76.67% respectively ( P< 0.05) . The experiment group was superior to control group in improving syndrome ofTCM .Conclusion : The experiment group was superior to control group and Warming yang and removing dampness and activating blood circulation and stimulating meridians Method is effective and safe on the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) of cold-damp arthralgia syndrome.
