Observation on the Therapeutic Effects of Warming Yang and Dredging Du-meridian Medicated Pots in Treating Renal Deficiency and Du-meridian Cold Type of Ankylosing Spondylitis
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of warming Yang and dredging Du-meridian medicated pot on ankylosing spondylitis(AS)with kidney deficiency and Du-meridian cold pattern.Methods:A total of 174 patients with AS of renal deficiency and Du-meridian cold type were randomly divided into an experimental group(medicated pots,55 cases),a control group No.1(glass cupping therapy,57 cases),and a control group No.2(boiled thumb cupping therapy,56 cases),all were given basic treatment,to observe the bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index(BASDAI),the bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index(BASFI),syndrome scores,the levels of erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C-reactive protein(CRP),as well as clinical efficacy and safety in different groups.Results:After treatment,BASDAI,BASFI scores and syndrome scores of all groups were reduced compared with those before treatment,and the reduction was more obvious in the experimental group(P<0.05);ESR and CRP values of all groups were reduced compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),but the differ-ence between groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05);the total effective rates of the experimental group,the control group No 1,and the control group No 2 were 92.73%(51/55),82.45%(47/57)and 71.43%(40/56),and the experimental group was higher than the other two groups(P<0.05);no obvious adverse reactions occurred in each group during the treatment.Conclusion:Warming Yang dredging Du-meridian medicated pots can improve the clinical symptoms of AS patients with kidney deficiency and Du-meridian cold type,reduce the levels of inflammatory indexes with fewer adverse reactions.
