Heart rate variability tracking for rheumatoid arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a smart ring to track your heart rate variability (a measure of heart health) while you sleep, to see if it relates to rheumatoid arthritis activity. You would wear the ring at night and complete short weekly check-ins for about three months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis confirmed by a doctor's criteria.
- You own a compatible iPhone or Android smartphone and are willing to use the Oura app.
- You are willing to wear the Oura ring while sleeping most nights of the week.
- You can complete short weekly remote assessments and attend 4 in-person visits (baseline and 3 monthly follow-ups).
- You can read and write in English and provide consent.
- You do not have certain heart conditions, a pacemaker, severe nerve problems affecting the heart, recent major heart events, or use beta-blockers.

Researchers want to see if rheumatoid arthritis increases the risk of irregular heartbeats. If you have RA, you might be able to join to help doctors better understand how to prevent heart problems in the future.
This study tests a smart home blood collection platform for people with rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to make remote monitoring easier by allowing you to collect blood samples at home using a smartphone or tablet.
This study tests a smartphone-based app that tracks hand symptoms to help detect rheumatoid arthritis flares and how well treatment is working. It aims to give patients and doctors an easier way to manage the disease between visits.
This study looks at people with very early rheumatoid arthritis to see if a simple blood test and an ultrasound of the neck can show early signs of heart artery damage. The goal is to catch heart disease risk sooner in RA 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.
