Key Highlights

  • TWHf-derived compounds improve disease activity and joint symptoms.
  • Xinfeng Capsule exhibits broader multi-component and multi-target regulation.
  • Clinical studies indicate efficacy when used alone or with specific DMARDs/biologics.
  • Challenges include toxicity and lack of high-quality multicenter RCTs.
  • Future studies should focus on standardized formulations and safety monitoring.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Include specific diagnostic criteria or guidelines.

Management

  • Consider TWHf-related preparations for improving disease activity and inflammatory markers.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Focus on safety monitoring and toxicity-attenuating delivery systems.

Risks

  • Toxicity and insufficient standardization of TWHf preparations.

Patient & Prescribing Data

TWHf and XFC may enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity via compound compatibility; consider potential interactions with other treatments.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Utilize biomarker-guided precision application of TWHf and XFC, specifying examples of biomarkers.
  • Conduct rigorous clinical evaluations of TWHf-related preparations.
