Summary

This study tests the safety of a small device placed in the belly to stimulate the vagus nerve for people with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis that hasn't improved with medication. Only 5 adults aged 18-75 will join, and they will be monitored for 5 years after the device is implanted. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works well, not to cure the disease.
