Hyperthermia is a method applied in the treatment of many diseases, including rheumatic diseases. There are relatively few reports concerning the role of that method in the treatment of these diseases, and most studies have not been randomised. Hyperthermia includes directed application of thermal energy. The aim of that therapy is to overcome the body's natural thermoregulation mechanism through application of external heat sources such as electromagnetic radiation of various frequencies, or ultrasound. Usually, temperatures are used within the 38.5-43° range. Hyperthermia can be applied as topical, regional, or systemic treatment (the latter is called hyperthermia of the whole body). In rheumatology, mainly the effect of hyperthermia on the immune system of the body is used. That effect depends on the type of hyperthermia and temperatures applied. Best documented are the effects of hyperthermia in fibromyalgia and ankylosing spondylitis.
热疗是一种应用于多种疾病治疗的方法,包括风湿性疾病。关于该方法在这些疾病治疗中的作用的报道相对较少,并且大多数研究并非随机研究。热疗包括定向施加热能。该疗法的目的是通过应用各种频率的电磁辐射或超声波等外部热源来克服人体的自然体温调节机制。通常,使用的温度范围在38.5至43摄氏度之间。热疗可作为局部、区域或全身治疗(后者称为全身热疗)应用。在风湿病学中,主要利用热疗对人体免疫系统的作用。该作用取决于热疗的类型和所应用的温度。热疗在纤维肌痛和强直性脊柱炎中的作用记录最为充分。
