The Clinical Research Of Du-Moxibustion Across Ginger And Garlic On Singificance Of C-telopeptides Of Type â…  Collagen (CTX-â… ) Influence In Treating AS

Object: To observe the clinical curative effect and adverse events of Du-Moxibustionacross ginger and garlic in treating ankylosing spondylitis (AS), analyse the impactevaluation of the sacroiliac joint Significance of C-telopeptides of Type Ⅰcollagen(CTX-Ⅰ) scans, and to explore a new way and to provide imaging basis for treatment ofAS.Method:60patients with AS were divided into treatment group and control group atrandom.30cases were treated with Du-Moxibustion across garlic and ginger therapy,whilethe other30cases were treated with Du-Moxibustion across ginger therapy. Each groupwere treated3times in all and were treated once a month. The changes of symptom, signand sacroiliac joint Significance of C-telopeptides of Type Ⅰ collagen (CTX-Ⅰ) scans ofpatients were observed before and after the treatment and analyzed with statistic method todraw conclusions.Result:1. Both of the two methods can improve the clinical symptoms (P <0.01) effectively,The efficient rate of the treatment group was and the control group was. The treatmentgroup is better than the control group.2. Symptom-score comparison before and after the treatment had a greatly significantdifference (P<0.01) in each group, comparison between the two groups had significantdifference (P<0.05), and the treatment group is better than the control group.3. Sign-score comparison before and after treatment showed significant difference(P<0.05) in each group, comparison between the two groups showed no significant differences(P﹥0.05) after the treatment.4.Significance of C-telopeptides of Type Ⅰ collagen (CTX-I) comparison ofTreatment group before and after treatment has very significant difference (P<0.01), thatof control group also has very significant difference (P<0.01); between group comparisonof Significance of C-telopeptides of Type Ⅰ collagen (CTX-I）after treatment has asignificant difference (P<0.05), maybe treatment group is significantly better than controlgroup.5.Neither the treatment group nor the control group had adverse events.Conclusion:1.Both of the Du-Moxibustion across ginger and garlic group and the Du-Moxibustionacross only ginger group can improve the clinical symptoms and signs effectively。2.Both of the Du-Moxibustion across ginger and garlic group and the Du-Moxibustionacross only ginger group have obvious influence to the sacroiliac joint Significance ofC-telopeptides of Type Ⅰ collagen (CTX-I)。3Du-Moxibustion across ginger and garlic had less adverse events,and it is one of thesafe and effective methods which is worth to use widely to treat AS.
