Shoulder Ultrasound in Rheumatoid Arthritis Without Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 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 looks at why people with Parkinson's disease develop shoulder problems. If you have Parkinson's and are over 50, you may join whether or not you have shoulder pain—researchers want to compare both groups to find risk factors.
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.
