滞针法治疗风寒湿阻型类风湿性关节炎临床观察

目的：观察滞针法对风寒湿阻型类风湿性关节炎（RA）的临床疗效。方法：将50例风寒湿阻型RA患者按就诊先后顺序随机分为2组，治疗组30例采用滞针法，对照组20例采用常规毫针刺法。治疗2个疗程后观察两组治疗前后症状总积分、压痛关节数、肿胀关节数以及血沉（ESR）、类风湿因子（RF）、C反应蛋白（CRP）等变化。结果：治疗组和对照组在治疗风寒湿阻型RA方面均取得了显著的疗效，但治疗组在各项临床指标的观察上获得了更优于对照组的疗效，尤其是对RF、压痛关节数以及症状总积分的改善，与对照组比较差异具有非常显著性意义（P〈0．01）。结论：滞针法治疗风寒湿阻型RA的临床疗效肯定，具有明显的优势。

Clinical observation on needle-sticking method for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis of wind-cold-damp retention type

OBJECTIVE: To observe clinical therapeutic effect of needle-sticking method on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of wind-cold-damp retention type. METHODS: Fifty cases of such disease were divided into 2 groups in order of visiting. The treatment group (n = 30) were treated with needle-sticking method, and the control group (n = 20) with routine filiform needle therapy for 2 therapeutic courses. Total cumulative scores, numbers of both the pressure-pain joint and the swollen-distention joint, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), rheumatoid factor (RF), C reaction protein (CRP) before and after treatment were investigated. RESULTS: Both the needle-sticking method and the filiform needle therapy had an apparent therapeutic effect on RA of wind-cold-damp retention type, and the therapeutic effect for the clinical indexes in the treatment group was better than the control group, with a very significant difference in improvement of RF, the number of pressure-pain joints and the total cumulative scores as the treatment group compared with the control group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Needle-sticking method has definite therapeutic effect on RA of wind-cold-damp retention type with obvious superiority.
