ABSTRACT
One hundred patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were randomly assigned to the medication group (n=38) or combined therapy group (n=62). The quality of life was investigated through the questionnaire before and after 6 months' therapy. Data showed that there was statistically significant difference between the two groups in physical, social, and emotional functions, and self-recognized health status (19.0±9.1 vs 6.6±4.8, 10.0±6.9 vs 3.8±3.3, 6.6±3.2 vs 3.0±1.8, and 11.4±7.6 vs 5.3±3.4) ( all P<0.05 ). Combined therapy could significantly improve the quality of life in RA patients.
