Rheumatic cold arthralgia (referred to as wind and damp pain) is a disease that is mainly manifested by muscle and joint pain caused by wind, cold and dampness. Its clinical characteristics are aggravated by cold or weather changes. The clinical manifestations are mostly painful, but the affected joints are not locally inflamed with redness, swelling and heat, and most of the laboratory tests are normal for blood sedimentation and negative for anti-chain “O” and rheumatoid factor. According to the pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of this disease, it is believed that wind, cold and dampness are the causes of wind guan pain, and it should be an independent disease. Therefore, Wang Zhaoming, the director of the Committee of Rheumatic Diseases of the Chinese Society of Integrative Medicine and Western Medicine and a famous rheumatologist, named this disease as rheumatic cold arthritis in 1974. Through clinical observation over the past two decades, most scholars believe that this name is more accurate and can be easily distinguished from rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc. It has practical value and is increasingly adopted by clinicians, which is of great clinical significance. This disease belongs to the category of paralysis in Chinese medicine.
