Research progress of treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by external treat-ment of traditional Chinese medicine based on theory of warming and stimulation
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic,systemic immune disease mainly manifested by symmetry and polyarthritis,which needs long-term drug treatment.If there is no standard and adequate treatment course,joint symptoms will continue to worsen,and it is easy to lead to permanent joint deformity.Whether traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine treats rheumatoid arthritis,the drugs used are more toxic side effects,or the economic burden is heavy,and patients are difficult to adhere to,which is not conducive to long-term control of the disease.External treatment can effectively reduce toxic side effects,no first pass effect,but also significantly improve clinical symptoms,so clinical attention is attached to external treatment.At present,there are many kinds of external treatment of rheumatoid arthritis,which can not be separated from the method of warm stimulation.Through a variety of methods,the treatment means are applied from the outside to the inside,and tire remarkable effect is obtained.This paper summarizes and analyzes the clinical external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine based on warm and heat stimulation in recent years,in order to provide more evidence for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in clinical external treatment,and is also conducive to obtaining curative effect faster in clinical work and effectively improving the quality of life of patients.
