Pain Education and Nerve Stimulation for Rheumatoid Arthritis Recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining pain education with gentle nerve stimulation helps reduce pain and improve recovery in people with rheumatoid arthritis. You might be able to join if your arthritis pain has lasted months and you don't have certain heart conditions or implanted devices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis for at least one year.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been having pain for three months or more.
- You do not have serious heart, blood vessel, or nerve conditions, and have not had a recent surgery or injury-related pain.

This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in your ear to see if it can reduce rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. It is for people whose RA has not responded well to at least one biologic or targeted DMARD.
This trial tests a gentle electrical stimulation to see if it can reduce fatigue in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It might help if you have had RA for at least 5 years and are between 30 and 55 years old.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in the ear can reduce pain and inflammation in people with psoriatic arthritis. If you have moderate to high disease activity despite stable treatment, you may be able to join.
This study looks at nerve-related pain in people with knee osteoarthritis and how it affects their pain level and daily function. It may help understand if nerve pain is a key factor in your knee OA symptoms.
This study tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the vagus nerve in the abdomen to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It is for people whose arthritis has not improved after trying multiple medications.
This trial tests if a gentle, home-based brain stimulation device (tDCS) can reduce chronic pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis who have low inflammation. It may offer a drug-free way to manage pain.
