Abstract
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of moxibustion combined with modified Taohong Yin in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with the pattern of blood stasis blocking channels. Methods:110 cases of rheumatoid arthritis with the pattern of blood stasis blocking channels were randomly divided into the control group (n = 55) and the observation group (n = 55); the control group was treated with modified Taohong Yin; on which basis, the observation group was also treated with moxibustion. Changes of joint function, such as lasting time of morning stiffness, indexes of joint swelling and joint tenderness, joint function and grip strength were measured; indicators of ESR, CRP, RF, IgA, IgG, IgM, C3, and C4 were observed; as well as adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was 90. 91％, which was significantly higher than 74. 55％ of the control group(χ2 =5. 153, P = 0. 023). There was no significant differences between the two groups in terms of lasting time of morning stiffness, indexes of joint swelling and joint tenderness, joint function and grip strength before the treatment in the two groups (P ＞ 0. 05); they were all improved after the treatment in the two groups (P ＜0. 05), in which the observation group was superior to the control group (P ＜0. 05). In terms of inflammatory indexes and immunological indexes, there were no significant differences between the two groups before the treatment (P ＞0. 05); they were significantly improved after the treatment in the observation group(P ＜0. 05). There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two group(P ＞0. 05). Conclusion:Moxibustion combined with modified Taohong Yin can significantly reduce the inflammatory response, correct the immune level, improve the joint function, and improve the curative effect when treating rheumatoid arthritis.关键词
