AI and brain scans for chronic pain in rheumatoid arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses AI, brain scans, and blood tests to understand chronic pain in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It may help find better ways to treat pain in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- For the main group: you have active RA and are about to start biological therapy (a type of treatment that targets the immune system).
- You are willing to have blood drawn, complete questionnaires, and undergo an EEG (a painless test that records brain activity).

This study uses artificial intelligence to better understand and measure pain in people with chronic pain. The goal is to develop smarter ways to assess pain automatically, which could lead to better treatment.
This study tests a new, AI-powered treatment approach for rheumatoid arthritis. It's for people with active disease who haven't used certain biologic or targeted therapies in the last 6 months.
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can improve how doctors spot complications in people newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a condition that causes joint pain and swelling. The goal is to see if AI can make diagnosis faster and more accurate in real-world hospital settings.
This study tests a smartphone-based exercise program designed with artificial intelligence to help people with rheumatoid arthritis, especially those with knee pain. It aims to see if the program can improve mobility and reduce symptoms.
This study follows people who are at high risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis, as well as first-degree relatives of RA patients and people with very early untreated RA. It aims to learn more about the disease so doctors can better predict and prevent it.
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.
