Front-Mu-Point Massage Combined With Tripterygium Treatment Of Rheumatoid Arthritis In Clinical Research

Objective Front Mu Point Massage combined with observation of Tripterygium treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid arth ritis, RA) efficacy. Observed erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C reactive protein regulation of a number of indicators, Explore the therapeutic mechanism.Methods 1. Front Mu Point Massage introduction:Mu Point Massa ge is a method invented by Professor Hou Liping. Through massag e,adjustment triple burner and internal organs. The purpose of clearing heat and dampness, shujin,tongluozhitong, triple burne r smooth, normal function of organs.2.62 RA patients were randomlly divided into two grou ps:treatment group (32 cases) and control group(30 cases). The c ontrol group was treated with Tripterygium for 8 weeks,10mg,Tid, p. o. Tripterygium and Mu point massage are the treatment group. 2 times per week, eight times as a course of treatment,a total of 2 courses of treatment (8 weeks). Observed the time omorning stiffness (h), joint pain index, joint swelling index,joint ten derness index, joint dysfunction index and ESR, RF, CRP,IgG, Ig A, IgM.Results Treatment group that were 8 cases of obvious effect,9 cases of progressive, effective in 13 cases, total effective ra te was 93.75% in the control group that were 5 cases of obvious effect,6 cases of progressive, effective in 14 cases, total ef fective rate was 83.33%. Comparison of the two groups were sign ificantly different effect (P＜0.05). After treatment, the time o f morning stiffness(h),joint pain index, joint tenderness index, joint swelling index and joint dysfunction index, rheumatoid fa ctor (RF), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation r ate (ESR), IgA, IgM, IgG, clinical symptoms improved was signif icantly different (P＜0.05).The control group after treatmenttim e of morning stiffness(h),joint pain index,joint tendernessinde x,joint swelling index and the dysfunction index,rheumatoid fac tor (RF),C-reactive protein(CRP),erythrocyte sedimentationrate (ESR), IgA,IgM,IgG,clinical symptoms improved was signifycantly different(P＜0.05). After treatment,the treated group than the co ntrol group,time of morning stiffness,pain index,jointtendernes s index,joint swelling index and joint dysfunction index, Creac tive protein,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,thirst, sweating,fe ver and other symptoms and signs improved significantly differe nt (P＜0.05),but the treatment group than in the control group of rheumatoid factors, IgA, IgM, IgG, tongue no difference (P<0.0 5). Patients of group 1 cases of adverse reactions,thecontrol gr oup had five cases of adverse reactions showed no significant d ifference(P＞0.05).Conclusion Front-Mu-Point combined with Tripterygium effective than treatment of rheumatoid arthritis tripterygium alone.
