Lyme arthritis pain study halted early – what we know
NCT ID NCT04038346
First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study aimed to see if taking NSAIDs (like naproxen) on a regular schedule could reduce arthritis symptoms and prevent long-term joint problems in people with Lyme disease. Only 3 participants were enrolled before the study was stopped, so no clear conclusions can be drawn. The approach was to compare scheduled NSAIDs, acetaminophen, or a switch from NSAIDs to acetaminophen after one week.
