Objective To observe clinical effects of Guilong decoction combined conventional western medi-cine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with cold-dampness syndrome.Methods 106 cases of rheumatoid arthri-tis with cold-dampness syndrome were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group,with 53 cases in each group.The control group was orally given methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine,while the treatment group was given Guilong decoction based on the treatment of the control group.The clinical effects of the two groups were observed after a treatment course of 3 months.Results In the treatment group,35 cases were markedly effective, which was significantly higher than the control group(P 0.05).The total effective rate of the treatment group was 88.68%, which was significantly higher than the control group (χ2 =4.810,P =0.028).There were no significant differences of the adverse reaction ratio between the two groups(P >0.05).Conclusion Guilong decoction combined with con-ventional western medicine can obviously improve the rheumatoid arthritis disease severities,the curative effect is re-markable.It is worth popularizing in clinical application.
