Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic disease of the spine. It can also be involved in the large joints and muscle attachment points. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease belongs to arthromyodynia category, the wind cold dampness from the three gas hybrid and disease. Rheumatoid arthritis is peripheral small joint swelling and pain deformity is the main manifestation of chronic disease, multiple in middle-aged women, general treatment are to long-term medication, functional exercise. Since 1992, we have made the fumigation bed, and the application of the traditional Chinese medicine vapor spray to treat ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis has achieved remarkable curative effect. Recently, we have adopted a closed traditional Chinese medicine vapor spray treatment apparatus for fumigation, greatly improving the efficacy:

1, clinical data

1.1 setting of disease stage

Early stage: the patients were mainly in the following lumbar and sacral pain, X showed that the grade of the sacral iliac joint destruction (0-2), and no bone changes in the lumbar spine. Peripheral type can be in both the chest, shoulder joint, Achilles tendon and other pain. But no X positive.

In the middle: Patients with spinal stiffness, but there are mild activity, X tablets show that the destruction of the sacral iliac joint, cervical spine, lumbar spine, spine, small joint.

Advanced: spinal stiffness, no activity. X slices showed bony connection in the vertebral column.

1.2 clinical data

This group of male 245 cases, female 35 cases, aged from 6 years old -55 years old. Average 30 years. According to the above stages, early in 48 cases, 195 cases in the middle, 37 cases in the late.

2, treatment method

2.1 fumigation method

Nidus Vespae 10 grams, Rhizoma Corydalis 30 grams, Speranskia grass 20 grams, Radix Puerariae 30 grams, Fructus Arctii 30 grams, zedoary 30 grams, Sichuan aconite the 20 grams, suberect spatholobus stem 30 grams, Arisaema 20 grams, strychnos 5 grams, Gentiana 30 grams, Radix stephaniae tetrandrae 30 grams, each agent with 3 times.

2.2 instrument

Cervical and lumbar traction and TCM fumigation therapy instrument.

2.3 fumigation method

The drug mixture into the pot, water heating, turn on the power, the drug reached boiling point, produce Chinese medicine atomizing steam into the cabin, patients wearing shorts in the cabin of 37 degrees in, close the compartment door, regulation in the body of the patient in a comfortable position, control cabin temperature to 40 degrees, maintain for 20 minutes. 1 times a day, 20 times for a course of treatment. After 1 courses of treatment, all patients were evaluated for efficacy. Other oral medications during the period of fumigation.

3, treatment effect

3.1 patients were relieved after the cabin, the pain was relieved or disappeared, and the activity of spinal column was increased.

3.2 clinical evaluation:: all patients did not find the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system and other complications. Spine flexion increased, the ground distance increased 5CM; early and middle stage of ankylosing spondylitis effect is good, the patients with advanced stage of spinal activity improvement is not obvious, but the pain symptoms were significantly reduced.

4, discussion

After observation, ankylosing spondylitis in the spine, the first is due to the spine of the small joints inflammation, pain, muscle spasm caused by. After a few years later, anterior longitudinal ligament, intervertebral disc, supra interspinous ligament ossification occurred gradually, "bamboo like change". At this time, the spinal pain disappeared, the deformity can not change. So early and middle time to emphasize the patient to carry out rehabilitation training, improve spinal activity. Our practice has proved that Chinese medicine fumigation treatment of early and mid-term ankylosing spondylitis spine stiffness has a rapid improvement. This is the role of Chinese medicine steam at high temperature into the muscle of percutaneous absorption of cou. This immediate effect can be excluded from the routine drug effects.

In the early stage of rheumatoid arthritis pain, the treatment is not timely, and it is a kind of important and effective treatment method.

The Chinese herb fumigation and steaming therapy, green revolution in medicine, and truly realize the "let not bitter medicine, make the treatment become enjoy" dream.
