Rheumatoid arthritis study tests Nurse-Led care and patient Self-Assessment
NCT ID NCT01315652
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed trial looked at whether a center focused on standard care for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can improve how patients manage their disease. Nearly 1,000 adults with stable RA took part. The study tested two things: a nurse visit to check for and treat common RA-related health problems (like heart disease and infections), and a program teaching patients to measure their own disease activity. The goal was to see if these steps lead to better treatment decisions and healthier outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a structured program with nurse-led checks and patient self-assessment helps manage rheumatoid arthritis better in routine care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study without a new drug or treatment. It only measures whether a care model works, so it cannot lead to a cure or new therapy.
