Abstract

The aim of this research was to summarize available scientific evidence on the efficacy of medical hydrology for the management of any health condition. The search was conducted on 26th March 2021, in the following databases: Medline (via PubMed), EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. All relevant literature reviews investigating the clinical efficacy of interventions characterized by the use of natural mineral waters and muds were included. The quality of studies was assessed with the "AMSTAR 2" tool. After article screening, 49 reviews were included in this work. Overall, retrieved scientific evidence suggests that spa therapy is beneficial for patients affected by some specific musculoskeletal conditions, with improvements potentially lasting up to 9 months. Moreover, balneotherapy can be an integrative support for the management of chronic venous insufficiency and some inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis. The role of spa therapy in rehabilitation appears relevant as well. More limited, although interesting evidence exists for inhalation and hydropinic therapies. Globally, retrieved evidence suggests that, besides individual wellbeing, medical hydrology can be useful for public health. In particular, higher-quality studies seem to support the integrative use of spa-related interventions for conditions like osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, low back pain of rheumatic origin, and chronic venous insufficiency. However, the body of evidence has some limitations and further clinical trials should be designed for each relevant application to consolidate and expand acquired knowledge.

摘要

本研究旨在总结医学水疗法在治疗任何健康状况方面的有效性的现有科学证据。检索于 2021 年 3 月 26 日在以下数据库中进行:Medline(通过 PubMed)、EMBASE、Web of Science、Cochrane 图书馆和 Google Scholar。纳入了所有调查通过使用天然矿泉水和泥浆进行干预的临床疗效的相关文献综述。使用“AMSTAR 2”工具评估研究质量。经过文章筛选,共有 49 篇综述纳入本研究。总体而言,检索到的科学证据表明,温泉疗法对某些特定的肌肉骨骼疾病患者有益,潜在的改善效果可持续长达 9 个月。此外,浴疗可以作为慢性静脉功能不全和一些炎症性皮肤病(如银屑病)的综合治疗支持。温泉疗法在康复中的作用也很重要。尽管吸入和水疗的证据有限,但仍然很有趣。总的来说,检索到的证据表明,除了个体健康之外,医学水疗法对公共健康也可能有用。特别是,更高质量的研究似乎支持温泉相关干预措施在骨关节炎、纤维肌痛、风湿源性腰痛和慢性静脉功能不全等疾病中的综合应用。然而,证据体系存在一些局限性,应针对每个相关应用设计进一步的临床试验,以巩固和扩展已获得的知识。
