Clinical Trials for Arthritis
Information about clinical trials for arthritis and related rheumatic conditions. Researchers depend on clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of drugs and therapies. New arthritis medications and treatments go through several phases of clinical trials before gaining FDA approval.
What is the ACR Criteria? What Does ACR Criteria Indicate?
The improvement in rheumatoid arthritis patients is judged using ACR criteria during clinical trials. ACR criteria is expressed as ACR 20, ACR 50, ACR 70.

Clinical Trials: Why Volunteer?
Clinical trial is the scientific term for a test or study of a drug or medical device in people. Clinical trials are done to see if the drug or device is safe and effective for people to use.

Placebo Effect: The Healing Power Of Placebos
Research has confirmed that a fake treatment, made from an inactive substance, can have a "placebo effect". It's not unusual for one-third of patients to feel better in response to treatment with placebo.

Placebo: Is Every Placebo The Same?
Placebo is used as comparison to medical treatments being studied in clinical trials. A placebo can illicit an effect too however.
