Summary
This study compared Siwan sand therapy (hot sand baths followed by olive oil massage) to standard physical therapy in 30 adults with rheumatoid arthritis. The goal was to see if the sand treatment could improve lung function, daily activity, and pain. Results suggest sand therapy may offer some benefit, but the study was very small and more research is needed.
