OBJECTIVE:
To
study the clinical efficacy and safety of bee-venom acupuncture
therapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Estudiar
la eficacia clínica y la seguridad de la terapia de acupuntura con
veneno de abeja para la artritis reumatoide (AR).
METHODS:
A total of 120 cases of RA patients were randomized into bee-sting acupuncture group (treatment) and western medicine group (control) in accordance with the random number table. The patients of the control group were treated by oral administration of Methotrexate (10 mg, once a week) and Celecoxlb (0.2 g, once a day), and those of the treatment group treated by 5 to 15 bee stings of Ashi-points or acupoints according to different conditions and corporeity, and with the bee-sting retained for about 5 min every time, once every other day. The treatment lasted for 8 weeks. The therapeutic effect was assessed by examining symptoms and signs of the affected joints as morning stiffness duration, swollen/tender joint counts (indexes), handgrip strength, 15 m-walking time, visual analogue scale (VAS), Disease Activity Score including a 28-joint count (DAS 28), rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACCPA); and for assessing the safety of bee-venom acupuncture, the patients' responses of fever, enlargement of lymph nodes, regional red and swollen, itching, blood and urine tests for routine were examined.

MÉTODO
Un total de 120 casos de pacientes con AR se dividen en un grupo
tratado con acupuntura de picadura de abeja (tratamiento) y otro
grupo con medicina occidental . Los pacientes del grupo control se
trataron mediante administración oral de Methotrexate (10 mg, una
vez a la semana) y Celecoxlb (0,2 g, una vez al día), y los del
grupo de tratamiento tratados con 5 a 15 picaduras de abejas en los
Ashi-points o puntos de acupuntura según diferentes condiciones y
corporeidad, y con la picadura de abeja retenida durante
aproximadamente 5 minutos cada vez, una vez cada dos días. El
tratamiento duró 8 semanas. El efecto terapéutico se evaluó
mediante el examen de los síntomas y signos de las articulaciones
afectadas como duración de la rigidez matutina, recuentos
articulares hinchados / sensibles (índices), fuerza de agarre,
tiempo de caminata 15 m, escala analógica visual (VAS), puntaje de
actividad de enfermedad que incluye un 28 -contexto de uniones (DAS
28), factor reumatoide (RF), velocidad de sedimentación globular
(ESR), proteína C-reactiva (CRP), anticuerpo anti-péptido
citrulinado cíclico (ACCPA); y para evaluar la seguridad de la
acupuntura del veneno de abeja, se examinaron las respuestas de los
pacientes controlando la fiebre, aumento de los ganglios linfáticos,
zona inflamada y roja, picazón, análisis de sangre y
orina.
RESULTS:
Findings of DAS 28 responses displayed that of the two 60 cases in the control and bee-venom acupuncture groups, 15 and 18 experienced marked improvement, 33 and 32 were effective, 12 and 10 ineffective, with the effective rates being 80% and 83. 33%, respectively. No significant difference was found between the two groups in the effective rate (P > 0.05). After the treatment, both groups have witnessed a marked decrease in the levels of morning stiffness duration, arthralgia index, swollen joint count index, joint tenderness index, 15 m walking time, VAS, RF, ESR, CRP and ACCPA, and an obvious increase of handgrip strength relevant to their own levels of pre-treatment in each group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the abovementioned indexes (P > 0.05). The routine blood test, routine urine test, routine stool test, electrocardiogram result, the function of liver and kidney and other security index were within the normal range, without any significant adverse effects found after bee-stinging treatment.
RESULTADOS
Los resultados de las respuestas DAS 28 mostraron que de los dos
grupos 60 casos en los grupos control y de acupuntura de abejas, 15 y
18 experimentaron una mejoría marcada, 33 y 32 fueron efectivos, 12
y 10 ineficaces, con tasas efectivas del 80% y 83. 33%,
respectivamente. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre
los dos grupos en la tasa efectiva (P> 0.05). Después del
tratamiento, ambos grupos han experimentado una marcada disminución
en los niveles de duración de la rigidez matutina, índice de
artralgia, índice de conteo hinchado, índice de sensibilidad
articular, 15 m de tiempo de caminata, VAS, RF, ESR, CRP y ACCPA, y
un aumento obvio de la fuerza de agarre relevante para sus propios
niveles de pretratamiento en cada grupo (P <0.05). No hubo
diferencias significativas entre los dos grupos en los índices antes
mencionados (P> 0.05). La prueba de sangre de rutina, la prueba de
orina de rutina, la prueba de heces de rutina, el resultado del
electrocardiograma, la función del hígado y el riñón y otros
índices de seguridad se encontraron dentro del rango normal, sin
efectos adversos significativos encontrados después del tratamiento
con picadura de abeja.
CONCLUSION:
Bee-venom acupuncture therapy for RA patients is safe and effective, worthy of popularization and application in clinical practice.
