| Object: To observe the clinical curative effect and adverse events of Du-Moxibustionacross ginger and garlic in treating Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), this study is to analyzethe impact evaluation of the BGP, and to explore a new idea and way for treatment of AS.Method:60patients with AS were divided into treatment group and control group atrandom.30cases were treated with Du-Moxibustion across garlic and ginger therapy,while the other30cases were treated with Du-Moxibustion across ginger therapy. Eachgroup was treated3times in all and was treated once a month. The changes of symptoms,signs and BGP of patients were observed before and after the treatment and analyzed withstatistic method to draw conclusions.Result:1. Symptom-score comparison before and after the treatment had a greatly significantdifference (P<0.01) in each group, comparison between the two groups had significantdifference (P<0.05), and the treatment group is better than the control group.2. Sign-score comparison before and after treatment showed significant difference(P<0.05) in each group, comparison between the two groups showed no significantdifference (P>0.05) after the treatment.3. BGP before and after the treatment had very significant differences (P<0.01) ineach group; between the two groups there was a significant differences (P<0.05).4. Both of the two methods can improve the clinical symptoms (P<0.05) effectively,The efficient rate of the treatment group was90ï¼…and the control group was80ï¼….5. Neither the treatment group nor the control group had adverse events.Conclusion: Du-Moxibustion across ginger and garlic can improve the clinical symptoms andsigns effectively, significantly reduce the number of BGP, and this method had no adverseevent, it is one of the safe and effective methods to treat AS. |
