目的：探讨艾灸治疗类风湿关节炎（RA）的疗效及对类风湿因子（RF）、C反应蛋白（CRP）以及白细胞介素-6（IL-6）水平的影响。方法将RA患者随机分成治疗组和安慰组，治疗组用真艾灸治疗，安慰组采用假艾灸，干预2个疗程。结果治疗组的总有效率显著高于安慰组（ P＜0．01）。两组RA患者关节疼痛、肿胀、压痛个数及程度、晨僵时间均较治疗前有明显改善（P＜0．05），但治疗组优于安慰组（P＜0．05）。两组患者血RF、IL-6与CRP水平也明显低于治疗前（P＜0．05），且治疗组明显低于安慰组（P＜0．05）。结论艾灸治疗能显著改善RA临床表现，并能显著降低RA患者血RF、IL-6与CRP水平。

Objective to investigate the efficacy of moxibustion treatment to rheumatoid arthritis(RA) patients and the impact to blood levels of rheumatoid factor(RF) ,C reactive protein(CRP) ,and interleukin-6(IL-6) .Methods RA patients were divided in-to treatment group and comfort group .The two groups were treated by moxibustion and sham-moxibustion for 2 courses ,respec-tievely .Results Overall clinical efficacy rate was higher in treatment group than in comfort group(P<0 .01) .The arthralgia ,ar-throcele ,tenderness and its degrees ,and morning stiffness time were significant improved in both groups(P<0 .05) ,and the indexes were better in treatment group than comfort group(P<0 .05) .The blood levels of RF ,IL-6 and CRP were reduced after treatment in both groups(P<0 .05) ,and which of treatment group reduced more than those of comfort group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Moxi-bustion treatment can significantly improve clinical outcomes of RA and markedly reduce the blood levels of RF ,IL-6 and CRP of RA patients .
