• Research summary

  In this study we aim to carry out an evaluation of the use of homeopathy as an additional treatment to regular care, for sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis. It will be a feasibility study with a small number of patients to gauge response from patients and review effectiveness of treatment. Dependant on the outcome we may look to apply for a further research trial with larger numbers of patients.
