Clinical Observation on the Treatment of Acute Gouty Arthritis with External Application of Qingluo Powder
Objective:To observe the efficacy of Qingluo powder combined with celecoxib in the treatment of acute gouty arthritis (AGA). Methods:Sixty patients with AGA were randomly divided into a study group and a control group,with 30 cases in each group. The control group was given oral celecoxib (0.2 g/time,2 times/d,for 3 days,then changed to 0.2 g/time,1 time/d,for 4 days);the treatment group was given Qingluo powder on the basis of the control group,1 time/d,6-8 hours each time,fully covering the affected joints. Both groups were treated for 1 week. The TCM syndrome scores and VAS scores were observed before and after treatment in the two groups,and the levels of erythrocyte sedi-mentation rate (ESR),C-reactive protein (CRP),and serum uric acid (SUA) were detected,and the pain relief time and redness and swelling elimination time were recorded. Results:The effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group;the TCM syndrome scores,VAS scores,ESR,CRP,and SUA of the two groups were reduced;the treatment group showed faster pain relief time and redness and swelling elimination time,and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion:Qingluo powder combined with celecoxib can relieve clinical symptoms more quickly and improve the quality of life in the treatment of acute gouty arthritis of damp-heat accumulation type than celecoxib alone,which is worthy of clinical promotion.
