First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation (called subthreshold stimulation) can reduce fatigue and improve leg muscle function in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers will also measure inflammation and daily function. The study will include 84 adults aged 30-55 with RA for at least 5 years. Half will receive the real stimulation, half a sham treatment, and results will be compared.
