UNM School of Medicine Seeks Volunteers for Rheumatoid Arthritis Study
Approximately 2.1 million Americans are affected by rheumatoid arthritis which causes inflammation in the lining of the joint and/or other internal organs. It tends to persist for may years. Anyone can get rheumatoid arthritis including children and elderly. However, it usually begins in the early-to-middle adult years.
To qualify for the study, participants must have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis for at least six months. Participants must be 18 or older and currently taking methotrexate. Qualified participants will receive study-related physical exams by a rheumatologist, study-related laboratory tests, x-rays and study medication.
