Clinical Study On Du Moxibustion Accompanied By Needle Warming Moxibustion In Treating Spine Stiffness Of The Mid-term Ankylosing Spondylitis

Objective:Compared with Du moxibustion,the article was to evaluate the validity of Du moxibustion accompanied by Needle Warming Moxibustion in treating spine stiffness of the mid-term AS,then to guide clinical application.Method:To select 60 cases of mid-term AS patient and divide randomly into treatment group and control group,each had 30 cases.The patients in treatment group were treated with Du moxibustion+Needle Warming Moxibustion,and the others in control group were treated with Du moxibustion.The changes in morning stiffness,physical signs,inflammatory indicators were observed before and after the treatment.Results:Comparison within groups:there were significant differences(P<0.05)for each indicator before and after Treatment.Comparison between groups after treatment:there was no significant differences(P>0.05)of the scores of the finger to floor distance,occiput to wall distance,chest expansion,ESR,CRP;there was statistical significance(P<0.05)of the scores of degree of morning stiffness,stiffness time and schober test.Conclusions:Du moxibustion and Du moxibustion accompanied by Needle Warming Moxibustion can obviously improve spine stiffness of the mid-term AS,but the latter is better than the former.
