Needle-Warming Moxibustion plus Multirehabilitation Training to Improve Quality of Life and Functional Mobility of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis after Medication
OBJECTIVE: Patients treated with medication for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often improve but continue to have active diseases. The study aims to investigate whether needle-warming moxibustion (NWM) plus multirehabilitation training can improve quality of life (QoL) and functional mobility of RA patie...

description | OBJECTIVE: Patients treated with medication for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often improve but continue to have active diseases. The study aims to investigate whether needle-warming moxibustion (NWM) plus multirehabilitation training can improve quality of life (QoL) and functional mobility of RA patients after medication. METHODS: Eighty-four RA patients were selected as study participants, including 42 patients receiving medication (medication group) and 42 patients receiving NWM plus multirehabilitation training (NWM + MRT group). The scores of disease symptoms, pain (visual analogue scale (VAS)), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)), functional mobility (Fugl–Meyer assessment scale (FMAS)), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and QoL (SF-36) were compared before and after treatment. When patients were discharged from the hospital, they were given a questionnaire for treatment satisfaction. RESULTS: After treatment, decreases in the scores of the VAS, PSQI, SAS, and SDS were observed in both cohorts, especially in the NWM + MRT group (P < 0.05). The FMAS scores of upper limbs and lower limbs were increased after treatment, which were higher in the NWM + MRT group in comparison with the medication group (P < 0.05). Of note, patients in the NWM + MRT group scored higher in various dimensions of the SF-36 scale (P < 0.05), showing better QoL. The satisfaction survey showed that the NWM + MRT group had a higher proportion of patients being satisfied and a lower proportion of patients being dissatisfied (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: NWM plus multirehabilitation training could significantly attenuate disease symptoms, improve QoL, recover functional mobility, and reduce the risk of anxiety and depression in RA patients. |
