This study aims to improve blood pressure control in adults who have both uncontrolled high blood pressure and rheumatoid arthritis. It may help by testing ways to better coordinate care between primary care and rheumatology.
This study tests whether an anti-inflammatory diet can help people with rheumatoid arthritis by lowering inflammation and disease activity. You may join if your symptoms are currently mild to moderate and you haven’t recently changed medications or your treatment plan.
This trial tests whether a combination of resistance exercise (strength training) and an anti-inflammatory diet can reduce pain, improve daily function, and enhance quality of life for people with rheumatoid arthritis. If you have mild or moderate disease activity and can safely exercise, this might help you manage symptoms.
This study compares two treatment approaches for people with active rheumatoid arthritis who also have heart disease risk factors. It tests whether a newer drug called tofacitinib, combined with cholesterol medication, can better protect the heart than traditional TNF-inhibitor treatments.
This trial studies an add-on treatment approach for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adults whose symptoms did not improve with standard “first-line” medicines. It may help people who still have active RA after trying certain disease-modifying drugs.
