CAN LOCAL MILLIMETRIC WAVES EXPOSURE BE HELPFUL FOR INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM CARE? A 4 CASES REPORT ON RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (SPA) are painful autoimmune, acute or chronic pathologies the joints, muscles and other tissues. Global care implies both medical more or less aggressive therapies, and physical treatments ght against pain and stiffness, vicious positions, and also improve autonomy in daily life. Anti-inammatory properties of millimetric waves (MMW) have been identied since the end of 20th century, and recently tested using miniaturized MMW transmitter bracelet. We report here 4 cases (2SPA and 2RA) who experienced pain relief, functional and autonomy improvement, while limiting their intake of analgesics. Further extensive investigations are required.
