Objective：To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine on rheumatoid arthritis. Methods：The treatment group （44 cases） was treated with acupuncture and traditional Chinese medication, and the control group （44 cases） was treated with western medicine, and their therapeutic effects were compared. Results：The total effective rate was 88.64% in the treatment group and 86.36% in the control group without a significant difference between two groups （ P 〉 0.05 ）. Both the clinical targets and the laboratory targets had the improvement（ P 〈0.05 ）. Conclusion ：The efficacy of acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine is similar to that of the western medicine for treating rheumatoid arthritis. The clinical targets and the laboratory targets have the improvement, but acupuncture combined with Chinese medicine has fewer side effects.
