ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of treating gouty arthritis with Chinese herbal medicines. Methods 64 patients were randomly recruited into a control group and a treatment group, with 32 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with taking self-made Qingrelishijiedu formula orally and applying Sanhuang powder externally, while the control group was treated with Xinhuang tablets. Results The cure rate of the healing group was 95.45% in comparison with 86.06%in the control group, showing obvious difference (t=3.25, P<0.05). The level of blood uric acid of both group reduced after the treatment. The level of blood uric acid of the treatment group was (498.2±79.1) μmol/L before the treatment and (338.6±39.9 ) μmol/L after the treatment, contrasting to (492.3 ± 87.5 ) μ mol/L and ( 396.2 ± 67.3 ) μmol/L in the control group. The difference was also statistically obvious (t=3.09, P<0.05). Conclusion The effect of treating gouty arthritis by Chinese herbal medicine both orally taken and externally applied was better than western medicine exclusively.
