Summary

Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TwHF), a traditional Chinese herb, is widely used in China for treating Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), but limited only for elderly RA patients because of its reproductive system toxicity. The investigators are inspired by Chinese external therapy, an immemorial therapy for thousands of years, and take its advantage to make TwHF topically in order to get an effective and safe treatment for active RA patients.
