Abstract
Gouty arthritis is a disease caused by the deposit of monosodium urate crystals in joints, generating intense single-joint pain; moxibustion and infrared light have proven effective in reducing pain. The goal was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of the BL 23 Shenshu and SP 6 Sanyinjiao points with moxibustion, accompanied by with infrared light, on pain in gouty arthritis. Prospective, cross-sectional and analytical study; BL 23 Shenshu and SP 6 Sanyinjiao moxibustion was performed bilaterally with the application of infrared light for 8 sessions 2 times a week. A stretcher, moxa cone, lighter, infrared lamp, measuring tape and watch were used. Comparing the PainDetect scale for the analysis of pain behavior, a score of 1/38 was obtained at the end of the treatment, taking 11/38 as a reference at the beginning of the treatment. We confirm that integral treatment with moxibustion and infrared light is useful to reduce pain.
