Nerve stimulation device 'can offer relief from rheumatoid arthritis symptoms'

This study is interesting and shows promising results that explore the link between the nervous system and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. This link is significant, as it could indicate the potential for alternative treatments for inflammatory conditions. However, the sample size is small, so more research is needed into the long-term effects of this intervention."Rheumatoid arthritis is a painful and debilitating condition that has a huge impact on more than 400,000 people within the UK. We now understand far more about the process of inflammation, and this understanding has led to new and better forms of treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. However, we also know that some people do not respond to these, so more needs to be done to find out what causes rheumatoid arthritis."
