NCT04426513 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Magnetotherapy/ RA
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 62
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Participants with rheumatoid arthritis with recommendation to physiotherapy. Created 3 study groups:

1. 1.Only kinesiotherapy
2. 2.Kinesiotherapy with unipolar magnetic field
3. 3.Kinesiotherapy with bipolar magnetic field

Conditions

Rheumatoid Arthritis; Hand Rheumatism

Keywords

Magnetotherapy; Rheumatoid arthritis; Hand function

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  Pain severity rating scale. only one value. Minimum value is 0, maximum value is 10. The best is 0, the worst is 10.

  Change from baseline VAS value immediately after therapy

• Health Assesment Questionaire (HAQ)

  Subjective assesment of level of disability. Value of each of 8 subsections: minimum value 0, maximum value 3. total score is averaged. The best total score is 0, the worst is 3.

  Change from baseline HAQ value immediately after therapy

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Test Box&Blocks

  Change from baseline number of blocks immediately after therapy.

Study Arms (3)

Only kinesiotherapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients have only kinesiotherapy of hand without steroid anti-inflammatory drugs and magnetotherapy.

Other: Kinesiotherapy with magnetotherapy

Kinesiotherapy with bipolar magnetic field

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients have kinesiotherapy of hand and bipolar magnetic field. All patients without steroid anti-inflammatory drugs.

Other: Kinesiotherapy with magnetotherapy

Kinesiotherapy with unipolar magnetic field

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients have kinesiotherapy of hand and unipolar magnetic field. All patients without steroid anti-inflammatory drugs.

Other: Kinesiotherapy with magnetotherapy

Interventions

Kinesiotherapy with magnetotherapy OTHER

Individual kinesiotherapy. Parameters of magnetic field: 7 mT, f= 0-50 Hz, type of impulse: unipolar or bipolar, rectangular pulse

Kinesiotherapy with bipolar magnetic field; Kinesiotherapy with unipolar magnetic field; Only kinesiotherapy
