Detecting wrist bone damage in rheumatoid arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether MRI or ultrasound can better detect small bone damage in the wrist caused by rheumatoid arthritis. If you have RA, the results could help doctors choose the best imaging test to monitor your condition.

This study uses ultrasound with elastography (a special way to see how stiff or soft your muscles are) to check muscle health in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help doctors find muscle problems early.
This study uses ultrasound to look for hidden shoulder problems in people with rheumatoid arthritis who have no shoulder pain. It aims to find early changes that might need treatment before pain starts.
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 tests if a lung ultrasound can detect early signs of lung disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help you if you have certain risk factors, like being male, older, or a smoker.
This study compares two gentle hand and wrist therapy techniques (Kaltenborn and Mulligan) to see which works better for people with rheumatoid arthritis. If you have limited wrist movement due to RA, you may be able to join.
This trial uses AI to look at your X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasound images to find out if your joint pain is caused by inflammation (like rheumatoid arthritis) or by wear-and-tear (like osteoarthritis). The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment for you.
