Result: After treatment, both groups score major indicators of disease activity were significantly decreased ,before and after treatment the differences were highly statistically significant (P<0.01), the treatment group score lower than the control group, the difference was significant (P<0.05 ). The treatment group achieved ACR20, ACR50, ACR90 efficacy criteria were: 37.5%, 32.5%, 20%, with a total effective rate 90%; the control group achieved ACR20, ACR50, ACR90 efficacy criteria were: 46.34%, 19.51%, 4.88 %, the total efficiency of 70.73%. Conclusion: Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimutang combine methotrexate (MTX) and sulfasalazine (SSZ) the efficacy of the treatment of refractory rheumatoid arthritis is superior to the efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) and sulfasalazine (SSZ), and has good security.
