Abstract：Objective：To discuss the effect of Chinese herbal fumigation combined with magnetic hyperthermia on the quality of life and laboratory indexes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods： A total of 80 cases of patients with rheumatoid arthritis were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group according to the random number table method， 40 cases in each group. The control group was given magnetic hyperthermia， and the observation group was additionally given Chinese herbal fumigation based on the treatment of the control group. The clinical symptoms before and after treatment in the two groups were observed； laboratory indexes including C- reactive protein(CRP)， rheumatoid factor(RF)，erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) and immunoglobulin G(IgG) before and after treatment in the two groups were detected；the quality of life，the improvement of joint pain and sleep status in the two groups were evaluated. Results：After treatment，the scores of joint swelling，joint tenderness and joint motion，as well as the duration of morning stiffness in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment；the three scores and the duration in the observation group were lower than those in the control group；differences were significant(P＜0.05). After treatment， the levels of CRP，RF，ESR and IgG in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment；the four levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group；differences were significant(P＜0.05). After treatment， each index of the quality of life in the two groups was increased when compared with that before treatment； each score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group； differences were significant(P＜0.05). After treatment，scores of Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) in the two groups were lower than those before treatment；the scores of VAS and PSQI in the observation group were lower than those in the control group； differences were significant(P＜0.05). Conclusion： The application of Chinese herbal fumigation combined with magnetic hyperthermia can significantly alleviate joint pain of patients with rheumatoid arthritis，improve the quality of life and curative effect，and promote joint recovery，with better safety.
