Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of self-made Rheumatoid No.2 Formula(derived from Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction with Spatholobi Caulis,Tinosporae sinensis Caulis,Guangdong Piperis Kadsurae Caulis,Chaenomelis Fructus,etc.added)combined with Barrettinib and Methotrexate for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)of cold-damp obstruction type.Methods Sixty patients with RA of cold-damp obstruction type were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Baritinib and Methotrexate orally,and the observation group was treated with self-made Rheumatoid No.2 Formula orally on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment covered 8 weeks.The changes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome score,pain visual analogue scale(VAS)score,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),serum C-reactive protein(CRP),rheumatoid factor(RF),anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody(anti-CCP)and other related laboratory indicators in the two groups before and after treatment were observed.After treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.Results(1)After 8 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 93.33％(28/30),and that of the control group was 70.00％(21/30).The intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the efficacy of the observation group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the scores of TCM syndromes in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and the decrease in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(3)After treatment,the VAS scores of pain in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.01),and the decrease in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(4)After treatment,the levels of related laboratory indicators of ESR and serum CRP,RF and anti-CCP in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The self-made Rheumatoid No.2 Formula combined with Baritinib and Methotrexate exerts certain effect for the treatment of RA of cold-damp obstruction type,which can effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms and signs of patients and improve the relevant laboratory indexes of patients.Its curative effect is superior to that of western medicine of Baritinib and Methotrexate.
