Objective: To observe the clinical curative effect of moxibustion therapy in combination with leflunomide on rheumatoid arthritis(RA) and the influence of cytokines.Methods: Sixty cases were randomly divided into Western medicine group and moxibustion combined with Western medicine group.30 cases in the Western medicine group received leflunomide oral treatment; 30 cases in moxibustion combined with Western medicine group received leflunomide oral treatment plus moxibustion on Shenshu, ST36 and A-shi acupuncture point for treatment.Observations were recorded before and after 90-day treatment on the improvement of their symptoms.The symptoms were evaluated by classification of quantitative assessment of symptoms, RA patients’ quality of life scale and health questionnaire, and related laboratory indexes(RF, ESR, CRP, and anti-CCP) before and after treatment.Results: The total effective rate of the Western medicine group was 72.7%, and the moxibustion combined with Western medicine group was 95.8%, better than the Western medicine group(all P<0.05).In the Moxibustion combined with Western medicine group, the symptoms of the score after treatment was significantly lower than before treatment(P<0.05).RF, ESR, CRP, and anti-CCP after treatment of both the two groups were lower than before treatment(P<0.05).Conclusion: The effect of moxibustion combined with Western medicine in treatment of RA was contributed to the anti-inflammatory analgesic.
Objective: To observe the clinical curative effect of moxibustion therapy in combination with leflunomide on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the influence of cytokines. Methods: Sixty cases were randomly divided into Western medicine group and moxibustion combined with Western medicine group. 30 cases in the Western medicine group received leflunomide oral treatment; 30 cases in moxibustion combined with Western medicine group received leflunomide oral treatment plus moxibustion on Shenshu, ST36 and A-shi acupuncture point for treatment. Observations were recorded before and after 90-day treatment on the improvement of their symptoms. The symptoms were evaluated by classification of quantitative assessment of symptoms, RA patients’ quality of life scale and health questionnaire, and related laboratory indexes (RF, ESR, CRP, and anti-CCP) before and after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of the Western medicine group was 72.7%, and the moxibustion combined with Western medicine group (all P <0.05) .In the Moxibustion combined with Western medicine group, the symptoms of the score after treatment was significantly lower than before treatment (P <0.05) .RF, ESR, CRP , and anti-CCP after treatment of both the two groups were lower than before treatment (P <0.05) .Conlusion: The effect of moxibustion combined with Western medicine in treatment of RA was contributed to the anti-inflammatory analgesic.
