First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This large observational study will follow 10,000 people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are receiving a combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and standard Western medicine. Researchers will collect health data and biological samples over time to understand which treatment approaches work best for different patients, including those with difficult-to-treat RA or RA-related lung disease. The goal is to create a more scientific and standardized way to evaluate and improve integrated treatment plans.
