Measuring disability in people with rheumatoid arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how rheumatoid arthritis affects daily activities and quality of life. By understanding disability levels, researchers hope to improve care and support for patients.

This study follows different groups of people—from those at high risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis to those recently diagnosed—to learn more about the disease. By joining, you help researchers understand who gets RA and why, which may lead to earlier detection and better care.
This study looks at how daily movement patterns (like sitting, standing, and walking) relate to the buildup of plaque in arteries (atherosclerosis) in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to understand if certain activity levels can lower heart risks.
This study compares two types of medication for rheumatoid arthritis to see which one might be better. It looks at how these drugs affect your daily life and physical abilities. If you have RA and are on one of these drugs, this study could help you understand your treatment better.
This study tests whether a self-care educational program can help reduce joint stiffness and improve daily function for people with rheumatoid arthritis. It's a program that teaches you how to manage your symptoms better at home.
This study uses high-resolution scans and regular X-rays to see how bone erosions (bone wear) progress in people with rheumatoid arthritis over time. It may help researchers better understand disease changes and how to measure them.
This study looks at what causes disease flares in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers will track participants to find predictors of flare-ups, which could help manage the disease better.
