The Clinical Observation On Improving Backbone Lean Range Of Flexion Of Ankylosing Spondylitis By Du-moxibustion Combined With Acupuncture At Jiaji Points

Objective： To observe the improvement of backbone lean range offlexion,including syndromes and signs,rate of functional movement and loss rate ofthoracic and lumbar vertebra.To analyse the clinical effect of Du-Moxibustion combinedwith acupuncture in improving the disfunction of spinal movement of ankylosingspondylitis patients,and select better method of improving the movement disfunction toprovide reliable proof for clinical treatment.Method：The study select62AS patientswith disfunction of backbone lean range of flexion and randomly divided into treatmentgroup and control group, with31patients each.Record the main syndromes and signs,rateof functional movement and losses rate of thoracic and lumbar vertebra,change of beforeand after the treatment.And further evaluate different effects of the2therapies onimproving the function of spinal movement.Result：After one period of treatment ofDu-Moxibustion and Du-Moxibustion combined with acupuncture.The main syndromesand signs,rate of functional movement and losses rate of thoracic and lumbar vertebrahave obvious difference(P＜0.05)before and after treatment,and there are obviousdiference between the two groups.Conclusions： Du-moxibustion have significantclinical efficacy on improving the syndromes and signs,rate of functional movement andlosses rate of thoracic and lumbar vertebra,delaying the development of disease,and thereis better obvious effect of Du-Moxibustion combined with acupuncture.
