To observe the clinical effect of Sanhuang Yilong Decoction (SYD) in treating active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Results:
The improvement of clinical and laboratory indexes in the treated group was superior and initiated earlier, as compared with those in the control group, and the total effective rate after 2-week, 4-week and 8-week medication was 49.76%, 80.98% and 85.27% respectively, all were better than those in the control group (all P < 0.05).
