Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Ultrasound is a physical therapy method used to reduce pain and inflammation and accelerate tissue healing (Király et al. 2021). Underwater ultrasound applications may be more effective in superficial areas and may reduce the risk of damage to sensitive tissues around the joint. On the other hand, customised foot insoles (orthotics) are frequently used to correct foot deformities, eliminate biomechanical imbalances and reduce pain (Gaino et al. 2021).
This randomised controlled trial aims to examine the effects of underwater ultrasound therapy and customised foot insoles in RA patients. The study evaluates the effects of the combined use of these two methods on pain, functional status and quality of life. The research aims to contribute to current treatment approaches and to demonstrate the effectiveness of innovative methods to improve the quality of life of RA patients.
