Objective: To study the clinical application value of oral administration of Miao medicine Zhubi Tang combined with external application of Miao medicine Waifu San in the treatment of gouty arthritis. Method: Eighty cases of patients with acute gouty arthritis diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2014 were selected and divided randomly into control group (40 cases) and observation group (40 cases) according to their visiting sequence. The control group was treated with traditional western medicine colchicines and diclofenac sodium

and the observation group was treated with oral administration of Miao medicine Zhubi Tang combined with external application of Miao medicine Waifu San. The various clinical indicators of two groups of patients were observed

and the statistical software was used for data processing and analysis. Result: The treatment efficiency (92.31%) of observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (83.78%)

the inter-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The pain score of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group after treatment (P<0.05)

the pain relief time and of swelling disappearance time were significantly shorter than those of control group patients (P<0.05) and statistically significant. The blood uric acid (UA)

blood sedimentation (ESR)

C-reactive protein (CRP) levels of observation group after treatment were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05)

the improvement degree of hemodynamic indexes of observation group was better than that of control group (P<0.05)

the above indexes differences were statistically significant. The incidence of adverse reactions of observation group was lower than that of control group (P<0.05) and statistically significant. However

the differences of inflammatory cells index

blood routine

liver and kidney function between two groups were not obvious

with no statistical significance. Conclusion: Oral administration of Miao medicine Zhubi Tang combined with external application of Miao medicine Waifu San can rapidly relieve swelling and pain

reduce the UA

ESR and CRP levels

decrease the damage to peripheral blood and the incidence of adverse reactions

and improve the clinical curative effect in the treatment of gouty arthritis

and so is worth promoting.
