Methods The clinical data of acute gouty arthritis patients with syndrome of exuberance of heat-toxin and blockade of static blood and turbidity treated in Department of Rheumatology, Dongfang Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from April 2013 to May 2017 was analyzed retrospectively. According to the therapeutic regimen, the patients were divided into Tutengcao Decoction group (120 cases), Colchicine group (63 cases) and Loxoprofen Sodium group (118 cases). Tutengcao Decoction group was given Tutengcao Decoction or Particles, one dose daily, taken orally in the morning and evening. Colchicine group was given Colchicine, 1 mg per time, 3 times a day. Loxoprofen Sodium group was given Loxoprofen Sodium, 60 mg per time, 3 times a day. The intervention time was 1 week. The relief time of joint symptoms, the improvement conditions of Chinese medicine symptoms and the improvement conditions of serum uric acid (sUA), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) before and after treatment among the three groups were observed. The clinical efficacy and safety of the three groups were compared. Results After 1 week of treatment, the relief time of joint pain and swelling in the Tutengcao Decoction group was shorter than those of the other two groups (P < 0.01), the relief time of limitation of motion was significantly shorter than that of Loxoprofen Sodium group (P < 0.01). In terms of Chinese medicine symptoms, the improvement rates of dry mouth and thirsty, dizziness, anorexia in Tutengcao Decoction group were significantly higher than those of the other two groups (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), the improvement rate of constipation was higher than that of Loxoprofen Sodium group (P < 0.01). Compared with those before treatment, the levels of sUA, CRP, ESR in the three groups were all significantly decreased after treatment (P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of CRP, ESR in Tutengcao Decoction group were significantly lower than those of the other two groups (P < 0.05), the level of sUA was lower than that of Loxoprofen Sodium group (P < 0.05). The effective rate of Tutengcao Decoction group was significantly higher than those of the other two groups (P < 0.05). All three groups had no obvious adverse reactions. Conclusion In terms of improving clinical efficacy and decreasing the levels of sUA, Tutengcao Decoction is better than single Colchicine or Loxoprofen Sodium in the treatment of acute gouty arthritis.
