Abstract：Objective:To explore the application value of Sihuang SAN combined with infrared ray in the treatment of acute gouty arthritis.Method:A total of 60 patients with acute gouty arthritis admitted to Shishi Hospital(admission time from March 2022 to October 2023)were selected,the grouping scheme was adopted by random number table method,and they were divided into two groups of 30 cases.The control group received conventional western medicine treatment,and the observation group received Sihuang SAN combined infrared treatment.The clinical treatment efficiency,the improvement of TCM syndrome score,inflammatory index level,related metabolic index level before and after treatment,and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Result:Compared with the control group,the clinical treatment efficiency of the observation group was higher(P<0.05).After treatment,the TCM syndrome score of the observation group was lower than control group,and the difference was significant(P<0.05).After treatment,The levels of ESR,CRP,WBC and SUA level of the observation group were lower than the control group,and the difference was significant(P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in TG,TC,LDL-C,HDL-C and FPG levels(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions during the treatment had no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion:The application of Sihuang SAN combined with infrared ray in patients with acute gouty arthritis has more accurate curative effect,can actively improve the TCM syndrome score of patients with joint pain,reduce the inflammatory response of the body and improve related metabolic symptoms,and the treatment method is relatively safe.
