Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To observe the effect of acupuncture therapeutic courses on rheumatoid arthritis.

METHOD

Forty-seven patients were treated with acupuncture for 6 courses and at the end of the third and sixth course of treatment, the therapeutic effects of acupuncture on morning rigidity, swelling and pain of joints as well as rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were observed.

RESULT

At the end of the third course, the markedly effective rate was 34.0% for morning rigidity, 9.5% for swelling and 23.4% for pain, the RF negative-turning rate was 2.2%, and there was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the reduction of ESR and CRP as compared to that before treatment. However, at the end of the sixth course, the markedly effective rate was 80.9% for morning rigidity, 64.3% for swelling and 87.2% for pain, the RF negative-turning rate was 26.7%, and there was a very significant difference (P < 0.01) in the reduction of ESR and CRP as compared to that before treatment.

CONCLUSION

More acupuncture therapeutic courses can bring about better therapeutic results on rheumatoid arthritis.

摘要

目的

观察针灸疗程对类风湿关节炎的影响。

方法

47例患者接受针灸治疗6个疗程，在治疗的第三和第六疗程结束时，观察针灸对晨僵、关节肿胀和疼痛以及类风湿因子（RF）、红细胞沉降率（ESR）和C反应蛋白（CRP）的治疗效果。

结果

在第三疗程结束时，晨僵的显效率为34.0%，肿胀的显效率为9.5%，疼痛的显效率为23.4%，RF转阴率为2.2%，ESR和CRP的降低与治疗前相比无显著差异（P>0.05）。然而，在第六疗程结束时，晨僵的显效率为80.9%，肿胀的显效率为64.3%，疼痛的显效率为87.2%，RF转阴率为26.7%，ESR和CRP的降低与治疗前相比有非常显著差异（P<0.01）。
