Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Modified Zhiwang Decoction in combination with methotrexate for the treatment of early RA patients and a parallel-group, single-center randomized controlled clinical study was designed.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA) is a progressive inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by chronic systemic inflammation, which can cause swelling, stiffening and articular cartilage and bone destruction. Early diagnosis and treatment in RA can improve outcomes and slow progression of joint damage. Modified Zhiwang Decoction(MZWD) has great curative effects for treating RA. However, few randomized clinical trials(RCTs) have evaluated the effectiveness of MZWD for the treatment of early RA. Therefore, a parallel-group randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MZWD combined with methotrexate on early RA.
