    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    DAS28
    Disease mobility score for 28 joints, higher scores indicate higher disease activity

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Fatigue Scale-14
    assessing the patient's fatigue level, the higher the score, the more severe the fatigue
    visual analogue scale
    Patients score according to the level of pain they feel, there are 10 scales from 0-10, with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing severe pain

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The group used a randomized controlled trial to conduct a post-marketing re-evaluation study of Wangbi granules. The study was conducted to observe the degree of clinical remission in rheumatoid arthritis patients with low disease activity after standard methotrexate and tofacitinib citrate treatment, using a combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment with Wangbi granules. The study aims to provide evidence-based medical evidence to improve the clinical efficacy of rheumatoid arthritis, enhance the depth of remission, and improve the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
