Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Exercises to improve function of the rheumatoid hand (SARAH): a randomised controlled trial.
Disease-modifying biological agents and other drug regimens have substantially improved control of disease activity and joint damage in people with rheumatoid arthritis of the hand. However, commensurate changes in function and quality of life are not always noted. Tailored hand exercises might provide additional improvements, but evidence is lacking. We estimated the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of tailored hand exercises in addition to usual care during 12 months. ⋯ UK National Institute of Health Research Health Technology Assessment Programme (NIHR HTA), project number 07/32/05.
