Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Integrative Medicine
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine

Background:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prevalent autoimmune condition significantly impairing patient quality of life.
  • Current RA treatments carry notable adverse side effects.
  • Intradermal acupuncture (IA) shows promise as a safe and feasible therapeutic option, yet its efficacy in RA management remains unexamined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intradermal acupuncture (IA) as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
  • To provide high-quality evidence for IA's application in RA patient care.
  • To offer references for acupoint selection in managing other Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized, sham-controlled, blinded trial involving 132 adult RA patients.
  • Participants allocated 1:1 to receive either IA or sham IA alongside standard RA care.
  • Primary outcomes included TCM syndromes and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) scores; secondary outcomes were DAS28 and serum CRP levels, assessed pre- and post-treatment.

Main Results:

  • This section is to be filled once the study is completed and results are available.

Conclusions:

  • This study is designed to generate robust evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of IA for rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Findings will inform clinical practice and potentially guide acupoint selection for related conditions.
