The study aim was to investigate the course of pain in rest and motion in seven different rheumatic diseases (RMD), prior and after multimodal spa therapy including low-dose radon treatment and at 3-, 6-; and 9-month follow up. Complete data from the radon indication registry including information on 561 subjects with RMD were analysed to explore the association of timepoint of measurement with pain in rest and motion. For this purpose, linear regression models adjusted for RMD-type, age, sex and body mass index (BMI) were applied. The mean age of the sample was 55 years, the average body mass index was 26.8, and 275 subjects were women. Pain scores were significantly improved at all-time points compared to baseline. Pain courses were different for each RMD with the largest improvement seen in fibromyalgia. Timing spa facility visits according to RMD-specific pain courses may result in sustained pain reduction.
本研究旨在探讨七种不同风湿性疾病（RMD）在多模式水疗（包括低剂量镭治疗）前后及 3、6 和 9 个月随访时静息和运动时疼痛的变化过程。对包括 561 例 RMD 患者信息的镭治疗适应证登记处的完整数据进行了分析，以探讨测量时间点与静息和运动时疼痛的相关性。为此，应用调整了 RMD 类型、年龄、性别和体重指数（BMI）的线性回归模型进行分析。样本的平均年龄为 55 岁，平均 BMI 为 26.8，275 名女性。与基线相比，所有时间点的疼痛评分均显著改善。每种 RMD 的疼痛变化过程不同，纤维肌痛的改善最大。根据特定 RMD 的疼痛变化过程安排水疗设施就诊时间可能会持续减轻疼痛。
