Breakthrough study tests safer way to quit arthritis steroids
NCT ID NCT02997605
Summary
This study tested two different approaches to help rheumatoid arthritis patients safely stop taking steroid medications. Researchers compared gradually reducing steroids versus switching to a different steroid type in 102 patients whose arthritis was already well-controlled. The goal was to see which method worked better to keep patients off steroids for a full year without their arthritis symptoms returning.
