NCT ID NCT03649178

Summary

This study tested whether reducing salt in the diet could help people with rheumatoid arthritis. Eighteen participants with moderate arthritis tried both high-salt and low-salt diets for eight weeks each, with a break in between. Researchers measured changes in joint inflammation, blood pressure, and salt stored in the skin to see if a simple diet change could improve health.
