[0002] Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by erosive, symmetrical polyarthritis.
[0003] Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that causes pain in the affected area during flare-ups. Over time, it can have a negative impact on the patient's physical and mental health. Current technologies can only provide relief by applying medication or heat, which is a relatively limited approach. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a pain relief device for rheumatoid arthritis, addressing the shortcomings mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The main shell, the first sub-shell, and the second sub-shell are all equipped with lighting structures at their bottoms. The lighting structures include red light lamps, ultraviolet light lamps, and heating lamps, which are arranged alternately.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer sides of the first and second sub-shells are respectively provided with a first fastening strap and a second fastening strap, and the first and second fastening straps are respectively provided with mutually cooperating round-faced hook and loop fasteners and barbed hook and loop fasteners to facilitate auxiliary binding operations.
[0008] Furthermore, temperature sensors are provided inside the main housing, the first sub-housing, and the second sub-housing to facilitate internal temperature sensing operations.
[0009] Furthermore, the main housing, the first sub-housing, and the second sub-housing are provided with reflective glass surfaces on their inner sides to facilitate increased illumination.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Combined with appendix Figure 1-3 A pain relief device for rheumatoid arthritis includes a main body, which includes a main shell 1. The main shell 1 has a first secondary shell 3 and a second secondary shell 4 connected by damping hinges on both sides. The damping hinges are high-friction hinges. Through the three-shell configuration, multiple parts of the patient can be wrapped for treatment.
[0019] The main housing 1, the first sub-housing 3, and the second sub-housing 4 are all equipped with lighting structures 9 at their bottoms. These lighting structures 9 include red light lamps, ultraviolet light lamps, and heating lamps. The ultraviolet light lamps emit ultraviolet light and can be categorized into two types based on their wavelength:
[0020] Medium-wave ultraviolet light: Reduces joint redness, swelling, heat, and pain by inhibiting local immune responses and reducing the release of inflammatory mediators (such as cytokines and prostaglandins). Treatment typically involves local irradiation of the affected joint or whole-body irradiation (suitable for multiple joint involvement), 2-3 times per week, for several weeks to months.
[0021] Long-wave ultraviolet light: It is rarely used alone, but is often used in combination with photosensitizing drugs (such as psoralen) (called "photochemotherapy, PUVA") to enhance the inhibitory effect of ultraviolet light on immune cells. However, it has relatively more side effects (such as skin photoaging and pigmentation).
[0022] Infrared irradiation: It mainly promotes local blood circulation, relaxes muscles, and relieves spasmodic pain through the heat effect, but it has no direct inhibitory effect on the inflammation of RA itself. It is more often used as a symptomatic supportive treatment to help relieve discomfort.
[0023] Heated light lamp: It can provide internal heating, mimicking the effects of heat therapy to help relieve pain.
[0024] The red light irradiation lamps, ultraviolet light irradiation lamps, and heating light lamps are arranged in an alternating manner, that is, one red light irradiation lamp, one ultraviolet light irradiation lamp, and one heating light lamp form a group, and multiple groups are set up internally, so that the corresponding lamps can be activated as needed for operation.
[0025] Temperature sensors 10 are provided inside the main housing 1, the first sub-housing 3, and the second sub-housing 4. Temperature sensors 10 can prevent the internal temperature from overheating. Reflective glass surfaces 11 are provided inside the main housing 1, the first sub-housing 3, and the second sub-housing 4. Reflective glass surfaces 11 can ensure that the refraction of ultraviolet light and drying increases the intensity and range of light.
[0026] The outer sides of the first sub-shell 3 and the second sub-shell 4 are respectively provided with a first binding strap 5 and a second binding strap 6. The first binding strap 5 and the second binding strap 6 are respectively provided with mutually cooperating round-faced hook and loop fasteners 7 and barbed hook and loop fasteners 8. The first binding strap 5 and the second binding strap 6, together with the round-faced hook and loop fasteners 7 and the barbed hook and loop fasteners 8, make it convenient to bind the device to the patient's painful area. The bottom of the outer side of the main shell 1, the first sub-shell 3 and the second sub-shell 4 are provided with a rubber pad layer 12.
[0027] The main housing 1 has a power supply control box 2 on its top. The power supply control box 2 contains a battery 13 and a control circuit board 14. The top of the power supply control box 2 has a touch screen control panel 15. In actual installation, a heat insulation layer needs to be set between the battery 13, the control circuit board 14 and the main housing 1 to prevent internal heating from affecting the control box. Depending on the model, the battery 13 can also be directly connected to a power supply cable, i.e., it is divided into a rechargeable type and a direct-plug type. The rechargeable type needs to be equipped with a charging port. This is a common circuit setting, so it will not be described in detail.
[0028] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
