objective:To observe the clinical effect of autologous blood injection therapy combined with Chinese medicine for rheumatoid arthritis of wind-cold dampness arthralgia type.Methods:Divided 48 patients with rheumatoid arthritis of wind-cold dampness arthralgia type into control group and treatment group randomly,24 cases in each group.Both groups receivedYangxue Tongbi tang for treatment,while the treatment group additionally received oral water decoction of autologous blood injection.Observed changes of clinical symptoms,scores of body signs and laboratory indexes of patients before and after treatment in both groups.Results:Compared the clinical effect of both groups,the total effective rate was 91.67%in the treatment group and was 79.17%in the control group,there was no significance in the difference(P>0.05).After treatment,general symptoms,scores of body signs,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and C reactive protein(CRP)were decreased in both groups when compared with those before treatment,differences being significant(P<0.01,P<0.05).After treatment,the comparisons of general symptoms and scores of body signs between the two groups showed significance in differences(P<0.05).Conclusion:Both therapies can effectively improve clinical symptoms and body signs of patients with approximate total effective rate.After treatment,the decreasing degrees of general symptoms and body signs in the treatment group are higher than those in the control group.Treatments of both groups can effectively decrease values of ESR and CRP.
