用冰袋裹在膝盖上来止痛,对风湿性关节炎病人来讲是一种既省钱又容易做的方法。作为一种关节病,有四百万美国人得有风湿性关节炎。费城的杰曼汤医疗中心的医生们在一次研究中用二个装有六块冰块和四分之一水的塑料袋分别裹在二十四位病人的膝盖上,这样一天做三次,每次放二十分钟。四个星期之后,据报病人们痛觉减缓,用药更少,睡眠时间延长并使膝盖更活络了。 Using ice packs to wrap around your knees to relieve pain is a cost-effective and easy-to-use method for rheumatoid arthritis patients. As a joint disease, four million Americans have rheumatoid arthritis. Doctors at the Jermainman Medical Center in Philadelphia wrapped up on the knees of twenty-four patients in one study with two plastic bags filled with six ice cubes and one quarter of water. Each day, three times each Time for twenty minutes. Four weeks later, the patients reportedly had pain relief, less medication, longer sleep and more active knees.
