Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Latest studies have found out the neurogenic inflammatory mechanism played an important role in the inflammatory process of RA, the pathological changes of neural tissues in RA were also noted.
This clinical trial is the first study to apply neurodynamic mobilization, a nervous system specific therapeutic exercise, on patients with RA. Objective of the study is to find out the effect of neurodynamic mobilization for joint inflammation in patients with RA.
Population Adults who are diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Intervention Neurodynamic Exercise
Comparison Standard conservative physiotherapy protocol
Outcome Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain Scale (RAPS) C-reactive protein (CRP) test

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Conservative Physiotherapy
Subjects will be referred to the physiotherapy department to receive conventional physiotherapy treatment.
Conservative Physiotherapy
The control group is assigned to received conventional treatment in the physiotherapy department with the standard rehabilitation protocol consisted of electrotherapy for pain relief, strengthening exercise to increase the strength of the thigh
Neurodynamic mobilization exercise
The experimental group will be given three neurodynamic mobilization exercises which focus more on lower limbs and the major innervating cutaneous nerves - saphenous nerve, sciatica nerve and femoral nerve.
Subjects will be instructed to practice everyday, each action repeat for 10 times.
Neurodynamic mobilization exercise
The mobilization exercise is conducted with 10 repetitions for each action, the action is hold for 5 seconds when subjects had the stretch feeling. The series of exercise is told to perform 2 sets a day, daily practice.
Subjects' conditions will be reviewed at the end of 4th and 8th week. An exercise log book will be provided for each subject to record down the compliance of the exercise.
