摘要
本文运用整体取穴和局部取穴相结合的针刺方法治疗31例类风湿性关节炎,结果:显效8例(25.8％),有效18例(58.1％),无效5例(16.1％),总有效率为83.9％。并观察了类风湿性关节炎患者的关节晨僵时间、两手握力、关节肿痛数、压痛等体征和血沉、粘蛋白,类风湿因子、血液流变学等实验室指标,发现针刺后除类风湿因子无变化外,其余均有明显改善,有统计学差异.提示针刺治疗类风湿性关节炎可能通过活血化瘀,解除或减轻类风关患者血液高粘滞状态,消炎镇痛等途径来实现的。
31 cases of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were treated by acupunture with combination of the points viewing the whole and the part. The results showed that there were 8 cases with marked efficiency (25.8%), 18 cases with preliminary efficiency (58.1%) and 5 cases with no efficiency (16.1%). The rate of total efficiency was up to 83.9%. Several signs such as the gripping power of two hands, the swelling and pain numbers of joints, ten- derness as well as lab indexes such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), mucin, rheum- atoid factor (RF) and blood rheology were observed in patients with RA. It was found that all experimental indbxes and clinical signs except RF were significantly improved after acu- puncture treatment. which indicated that the curative effects of RA by acupuncture were achieved by promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, eliminating or alleviating the state of high blood viscosity, diminishing inflammation and easing pain.
