Objective To investigate the clinical effect of infliximab assisted by Dahuang Mudan Decoction for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD) and the effect on the Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES‑CD). Methods A total of 82 CD patients were randomly assigned to control group (n=41) or observation group (n=41), infliximab therapy alone, and oral administration of infliximab assisted by Dahuang Mudan Decoction were given to both groups, respectively. The Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome scores (including abdominal stabbing pain, bloody purulent diarrhea, dark reddish tongue, and anal burning sensation), Crohn's Disease activity index (CDAI), SES‑CD, intestinal magnetic resonance enterography parameters with respect to volume transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant (Kep), and extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve), Intestinal Bowel Ultrasound Segmental Activity Score (IBUS‑SAS), and inflammatory factors in terms of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum C‑reactive protein (CRP) level, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF‑α) level were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy was also compared between the two groups after treatment. The occurrence of adverse reactions during treatment were observed in both groups. Results After treatment, the total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. The scores for abdominal stabbing pain, bloody purulent diarrhea, dark reddish tongue, and anal burning sensation, as well as CDAI, SES‑CD, IBUS‑SAS, Ktrans, Kep, Ve, ESR, serum CRP and TNF‑α levels were lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the total incidence rate of adverse reactions between the two groups during treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Infliximab assisted by Dahuang Mudan Decoction can significantly relieve clinical symptoms, intestinal and systemic inflammation, repair mucosal damage, and ameliorate vascular permeability in CD patients, with superior effect compared to infliximab therapy alone.
