Clinical Studies Fire Needle Treatment Of Acute Rheumatoid Arthritis In Alpine Blockage

ObjectiveRheumatoid arthritis is common and difficult diseases, Western medicine alone can not achieve the desired therapeutic effect, while there are inevitable side effects of long-term application of medicine, the study by fire needle acupuncture active rheumatoid joints alpine Blockage inflammation, observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy ultimately its security, to provide clinical evidence to establish an optimized treatment of rheumatoid arthritisMethodsNon-blind randomized controlled method,62patients with active rheumatoid arthritis alpine Blockage were randomly divided into control group and observation group31cases. Both groups were given conventional anti-rheumatic therapy, on this basis, the control group treated with diclofenac sodium delayed-release tablets for oral anti-inflammatory painkillers, simple observation group treated with acupuncture needles of fire,10days for treatment. After a course of treatment, a comprehensive assessment of arthritis index (AI), including joint pain, tenderness, swelling, morning stiffness, activity and other indicators, and self-rated pain score (VAS), observed indicators before and after treatment were analyzed statistically recorded, strive to objectively evaluate fire needle acupuncture for the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis alpine Blockage of the clinical efficacy and safety。Results Control group and observation group,30patients have completed clinical observation; observation group after treatment of arthritis index (AI) is:(12.73±4.56), lower than the control group (15.00±4.96), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); observation group after treatment self-rated pain intensity scale (VAS) as:(3.27±1.23), lower than the control group (3.37±1.30), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); TCM syndrome efficiency:observation group was83.33%%53.33%%in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Fire needle acupuncture only for the local skin and soft tissue, without affecting other systems, two groups of patients before and after treatment with no adverse local skin reactions, so safety and reliability.,ConclusionAfter the basis of conventional anti-rheumatic therapy, giving fire needle acupuncture treatment, active rheumatoid arthritis in patients alpine Blockage inflammatory arthritis index (AI), patient self-rated pain score (VAS) were significantly improved, and are better than oral anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, so fire needle acupuncture on the activity of rheumatoid arthritis alpine Blockage efficacy, safety, and to avoid the side effects of drugs, have a high clinical value...
