First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding venlafaxine, a common antidepressant, to standard rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment can better control disease activity. About 70 adults with moderate to severe RA who are already on stable medication will receive either venlafaxine or a placebo for several months. Researchers will measure changes in joint swelling, pain, and inflammation levels to see if the drug offers additional benefit.
