铺灸治疗强直性脊柱炎临床观察(英文)

目的:观察铺灸治疗强直性脊柱炎的临床疗效。方法:将58例强直性脊柱炎患者随机分为铺灸组和西药组,每组29例。铺灸组采用铺灸加西药治疗;西药组单纯采用西药治疗。结果:铺灸组总有效率为93.1%,西药组总有效率为62.1%,两者差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);治疗后,两组强直性脊柱炎疾病活动指数(Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index,BASDAI)和强直性脊柱炎功能指数(BaJth Andylosing Spondylitis Function Index,BASFI)均有所改善,而铺灸组BASDAI和BASFI的改善程度均明显高于西药组(P<0.05)。结论:铺灸疗法结合西药治疗强直性脊柱炎可明显提高临床疗效,且在改善强直性脊柱炎患者功能方面效果显著。

Clinical observation on long snake moxibustion for ankylosing spondylitis

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of long snake moxibustion for ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Methods:A total of 58 AS cases were randomized into a long snake moxibustion group and a Western medication group,29 in each group.The cases in the former group received long snake moxibustion and Western medication,whereas cases in the latter group received Western medication alone.Results:The total effective rate in the long snake moxibustion group was 93.1%,versus 62.1%in the Western medication group,showing a statistical significance(P<0.01);after the treatment,the scores of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index(BASDAI) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Function Index(BASFI) were improved in both groups;however,the improvements of BASDAI and BASFI results in the long snake moxibustion group were more significant than those in the Western medication group(P<0.05).Conclusion: Long snake moxibustion and Western medication can significantly improve the clinical effect on AS, coupled with a remarkable effect in enhancing the patients’ functions.
