                      Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common worldwide public health problem especially in China, many RA formula has been used in the clinic and some of these TCM formulas have been existed over thousands of years in ancient China(388) with potential mechanisms such as inhibited osteoclast proliferation, suppressed fibroblast, decreased the expression of inflammatory cytokines, blocking signal pathways, etc.).

Phytodolor, a fixed herbal formulation containing alcoholic extracts of aspen leaves and bark (Populus tremula), common ash bark (Fraxinus excelsior), and golden rod herb (Solidago virgaurea),
may consist a potential effect on relieving symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, the Australian Catholic University study suggested(396). DR Huber B said, " ....daily dose of either 3 x 30 drops of Phytodolor N .... administered over 3 weeks, ... improvements obtained were identical to those in the group receiving in part considerably higher doses of NSAIDs and placebo"(397)
In fact, the effectiveness of the herbal formula use for treatment of different subtypes of rheumatic diseases, such as painful inflammatory or degenerative rheumatic diseases(398), probably due to its antiinflammatory, antioedematous, antioxidative and analgesic properties(398).
