Objective:To observe the effect of the Quhan Chushi Huoxue Decoction combined with thermal-sensitive moxibustion in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods:Eighty-six cases were divided into a control group and an observation group by drawing lots,with 43 patients in each group.Both groups received thermal-sensitive moxibustion treatment,and the observation group additionally received the Quhan Chushi Huoxue Decoction.Results:The total effective rate was higher in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the Visual Analog Scale(VAS)score,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),RF,C-reactive protein(CRP),immunoglobulin A(IgA),IgM,and IgG levels were lower in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).The observation group also had a shorter morning stiffness duration and lower tenderness index and swelling index scores compared to the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The combination of Quhan Chushi Huoxue Decoction and thermal-sensitive moxibustion is effective in the treatment of RA.
