Objective To observe acupuncture combined with unclogged arteries explored a bit cold-damp type rheumatoid arthritis clinical curative effect. Methods 108 cases of cold-damp type rheumatoid arthritis， according to the random indicator method is divided into the treatment group（54 cases） and control group（54 cases） and control group given from oral methotrexate， special treatment， the treatment group in the control group given acupuncture combining with unclogged arteries explored acupuncture treatment. Observe two groups of laboratory test index ①C -reactive protein（CRP）（mg/L）； ②rheumatoid factor（RF）（IU/mL）； ③blood sedimentation（ESR）（mm/h）， pain visual analogue scale（VAS） score and clinical curative effect. Results Two groups after treatment the ESR， CRP， RF are lower than before treatment， the differences were significant（P<0.05）； After treatment， the treatment group compared with controls the ESR， CRP， RF， the differences were significant（P<0.05）. Pain（VAS） score， the two groups after treatment than before treatment significantly reduced（P<0.05）， the treatment group after treatment（VAS） pain scores than the control group reduced more significantly（P<0.05）； The clinical total effective rate in the two groups， treatment group total effectiveness 92.59%， 79.63% higher than the control group， the difference was statistically significant（P<0.05）. Conclusion On the basis of oral western medicine acupuncture combined with pulse explored through moxibustion treat cold-damp type rheumatoid arthritis curative effect is distinct， better than oral western medicine alone.
