Summary
This study is testing whether an anti-inflammatory diet can help people with rheumatoid arthritis feel better and reduce disease activity. Researchers will compare two different anti-inflammatory diets in 124 adults with low to moderate disease activity. The goal is to see if diet changes can lead to a meaningful drop in symptoms and inflammation.
