Local research studies are enrolling now!*
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. OA is caused by wear and tear on the joints over time, and causes pain and stiffness in the joints. It commonly affects hips and knees. Over 27 million people in the United States have osteoarthritis.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an uncommon form of arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that occurs when your immune system attacks the lining of your joints. This causes joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and redness that can move to any joint, at any time. You may also have other symptoms like feeling tired or having a fever.
Better treatment options are needed for people who suffer with both types of arthritis. Right now, local doctors are looking for people who have Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis to participate in local research studies.
