Objective：To explore the effect of the external application of Radix Scutellaria and mashed potatoes on soft tissue injury in pregnant women.Methods：Divided 40 cases of pregnant women with soft tissue injury randomly into two groups，20 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with external application of Radix Scutellaria and mashed potatoes，and the control group was treated with fomentation of 50%magnesium sulfate.Observed disappearance of the pain，tenderness and swelling at the injury sites after treatment of the two groups，recorded the clinical effect，compared the level of serum hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)，and recorded the adverse reactions.Results：After treatment，the scores of pain，tenderness and swelling in both groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment，the difference being significant(P＜0.05).After treatment，the scores of pain，tenderness and swelling in the observation group were lower than those in the control group，the difference being significant(P＜0.05).The total effective rate was 95.0%in the observation group and 80.0%in the control group，the difference being significant(Z=27.257，P＜0.05).After treatment，the levels of hs-CRP in serum in both groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05).After treatment，the level of hs-CRP in serum in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion：The external application of Radix Scutellaria and mashed potatoes has obvious clinical curative effect on soft tissue injury in pregnant women，with easy operation and little side effect.
