Gout or gouty (or acute) arthritis is one of the most painful diseases experienced by humans. The gouty patients are estimated more than 10 millions in the world. Recent clinic trials have demonstrated the manual therapy or massage (joint mobilization) is significantly more effective than the control treatments for patients with osteoarthritis.
To our knowledge, there is not any model to systematically describe this disease, in a perspective of biomedical and biochemical infophysics, information (entropy expression), laws of conservation of matter and energy; there is not either any more effective clinic treatment than massage or manual therapy (joint mobilization) with the same safety and economy to immediately cure this disease without any side effect.
In this investigation, we systematically model gout or gouty (acute) arthritis, using our previous meridian channel models and traditional theory of Yin and Yang, in a perspective of biomedical and biochemical infophysics. A clinic case report using treatments combined with massage and (warm running tap) water support our gouty models.
