Old heart drug tested as new hope for arthritis pain

NCT ID NCT05671497

Summary

This study tested whether adding a medication called cilostazol to standard rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatments could help patients feel better. For six months, 70 adults with moderate-to-severe RA either took their usual drugs plus cilostazol or just their usual drugs alone. Researchers checked if the added drug reduced joint pain, swelling, and internal inflammation.
