Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Participants with rheumatoid arthritis with recommendation to physiotherapy.

Created 3 study groups:

1. Only kinesiotherapy
2. Kinesiotherapy with unipolar magnetic field
3. Kinesiotherapy with bipolar magnetic field

Kinesiotherapy with magnetic field give better effects than only kinesiotherapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants with rheumatoid arthritis with recommendation to physiotherapy. All participants have dysfunction and pain of hand.
