Nicotinamide for rheumatoid arthritis: a clinical trial
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if taking a vitamin B3 supplement (nicotinamide) can improve outcomes for people with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers want to see if adding this over-the-counter vitamin to your usual arthritis medicines helps reduce disease activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
