Clinical study on 202 Cases of RA treated with the method for activating blood circulation and clearing away heat[J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2002, (7): 511-513.DOI: 10.13288/j.11-2166/r.2002.07.021.
Purpose: To study on treatment of rheumatoid arthritism (RA) with combination of internal and external therapies. Methods: 322 cases of RA were randomly divided into two groups with single blind method
and they were treated respectively by the method for activating blood circulation and clearing away heat
and Fenbid and Lei Gong Teng for 6 weeks. Clinical symptoms and laboratory indexes were investigated before and after treatment. Results: Of 202 cases in the treatment group
124 cases (61. 38%) were markedly effective. 56 cases (27. 72%) were effective. 22 cases (10. 89%) were ineffective
the total effective rate being 89. 10%: of 120 cases in the control group. 59 cases (49. 16%) were markedly effective. 31 cases (25. 83%) effective. 30 cases (25. 00%) ineffective
the total effective rate being 75. 00% with the treatment group being superior to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The method for activating blood circulation and clearing away heat has definite therapeutic effect on RA.
