Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology marked by a symmetric, peripheral polyarthritis. The proposed study aims to compare the role of Homoeopathic medicines and Placebo, along with physiotherapy in management of rheumatoid arthritis.
Objective: To assess pre and post NPRS for pain management in both treatment groups of rheumatoid arthritis patients and to study the relation of miasms in rheumatoid arthritis.
