This 26th volume of the Evidence-based Clinical Chinese Medicine
series provides a multi-faceted 'whole evidence' analysis of the
management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using integrative Chinese
medicine. Beginning with an overview of how RA is conceptualised
and managed in conventional medicine (Chapter 1), the authors
summarise the syndrome differentiation and management of RA in
contemporary Chinese medicine (Chapter 2), based on clinical
guidelines and contemporary books. Chapter 3 provides detailed
analyses of how RA and related conditions were treated with herbal
medicine and acupuncture in past eras based on the classical
Chinese medical literature. The subsequent chapters comprehensively
review the current state of the clinical evidence for the
integrative application of Chinese herbal medicines (Chapter 5),
acupuncture therapies (Chapter 7), other Chinese medicine therapies
(Chapter 8) and combination Chinese medicine therapies (Chapter 9),
as well as analyse and evaluate the results of these clinical
studies from an evidence-based medicine perspective. Chapter 6
reviews and summarises experimental evidence for the bioactivity of
commonly used Chinese herbs and their constituent compounds. The
outcomes of these analyses are summarised and discussed in Chapter
10. Implications for clinical practice and future research are
identified. This book informs clinicians and students in the fields
of integrative medicine and Chinese medicine regarding contemporary
practice and the current evidence base for Chinese medicine
therapies for managing RA. It enables clinicians in making
evidence-based decisions in patient care. It also provides
researchers with a comprehensive survey of the state of the field
that can inform future directions for clinical and experimental
studies.
