By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaMay 19 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers evaluated the health benefits of sulfur balneotherapy on the rheological properties of the blood of osteoarthritis patients.
About the study In the present study, researchers investigated the probable therapeutic benefits of sulfur bathing among osteoarthritis patients. Individuals with rheumatologic disorders, active infections, neoplasms, and smoking habits were excluded from the analysis. The team evaluated morphological, biochemical, coagulation, and rheological alterations in the blood.
Related StoriesHemoglobin levels, mean corpuscular hemoglobin , mean platelet volume , and neutrophil concentration were significantly altered following balneotherapy. On the contrary, the levels of biochemical and coagulation parameters, including hs-CRP and fibrinogen, did not significantly differ from baseline values. The time required for a half-maximal change in the aggregation signal was significantly greater following the intervention.
