Abstract :
Arthralgia syndrome is a syndrome manifested as ache, numbness, heaviness and limited movement of muscle, bones and joints, even swelling and ardent joints, with different extent of dysfunction due to wind, cold, wet and heat pathogen invasion causing blocked meridians and stagnant qi and blood. It has the characteristics of graduality and recurrent attacks, which severely threaten common life and work. Based on the muscle meridian theories, this article discuss the effect of muscle meridians on the treatment of arthralgia syndrome to explain the relationship of muscle meridian and arthralgia syndrome in a more comprehensive and deeper way, meanwhile, apply the experience of the treatment of muscle meridian diseases to arthralgia syndrome so as to provide more reliable theoretical basis.
