Ultrasound-guided treatment choices for rheumatoid arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound to help decide how to adjust treatment in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help tailor therapy to keep the disease under better control using a treat-to-target approach.

This study uses high-resolution scans and regular X-rays to see how bone erosions (bone wear) progress in people with rheumatoid arthritis over time. It may help researchers better understand disease changes and how to measure them.
This study uses a laser-based imaging method to “see” inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help researchers better understand how active joint inflammation looks and how it changes.
This study tests a personalized approach to find which of three biologic medicines works best for you, comparing them one at a time. It aims to help people with active rheumatoid arthritis who haven't improved enough on methotrexate.
This trial tests whether ultrasound waves applied to the spleen can reduce inflammation in adults with rheumatoid arthritis. It is for people with moderate to severe disease who have not tried many biologic medications.
This study uses ultrasound imaging to help doctors tell whether painful, swollen joints are caused by gout or another condition like rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to make diagnosis faster and less invasive, which may help guide your treatment early on.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to look at arteries in the neck can help prevent heart attacks and strokes in people with inflammatory joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Researchers will use the results to guide treatment decisions.
