Can a Self-Image workshop help rheumatic disease patients feel better about themselves?
NCT ID NCT07170826
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a therapeutic education program designed to improve self-image and self-esteem in adults with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis. Sixty participants will complete questionnaires and interviews before and after the program. The goal is to see if these workshops, which are already used in cancer and obesity care, can help people with rheumatic conditions feel more positive about their bodies and themselves.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- therapeutic education program (workshops and interviews focused on self-image)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could become a standard part of care to help patients with chronic rheumatic diseases feel better about themselves.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is added to usual care, so any benefit may be modest.
