Efficacy observation of thumb-tack needling for subcutaneous embedding on rheumatoid arthritis
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of thumb-tack needling for subcutaneous embedding on rheumatoid arthritis and its effect on systemic immune-inflammation index.Methods:60 cases of eligible patients with rheumatoid arthritis were selected and randomly divided into two groups,30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with western medicine alone,while the treatment group was treated plus with thumb-tack needling for subcutaneous embedding on the basis of control group.The course of treatment was 12 weeks for both groups.The changes of blood routine,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),rheumatoid factor(RF)and C-reactive protein(CRP)as well as Disease Activity Score Uses 28 Joint Counts(DAS28)were detected in two groups before and after treatment.Results:The total effective rate of treatment group was 93.33%,which was significantly better than 80.00%of control group,and the comparative difference between two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).In the treatment group after treatment,the levels of DAS28 score,RF,CRP and ESR were significantly improved compared with in the control group(P<0.05);the systemic immune-inflammation index(SII)was significantly decreased compared with before treatment and in the control group,and the comparative difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of thumb-tack needling for subcutaneous embedding and western medicine on rheumatoid arthritis is better,which can improve the symptoms of patients and reduce the systemic immune-inflammatory index.
