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.
