What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in activity of rheumatoid arthritis
Time Frame: After 3 months of treatment
By DAS 28; it include 28 tender and swollen joints, laboratory test (ESR) and visual analogue score, if it higher than 5.1 it mean high disease activity and if lower than 3.2 it mean low activity and consider remission if lower than 2.6
After 3 months of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Activity of RA
Time Frame: 3 months after treatment
MHAQ.scores include questionnaire from eight activities of daily living and range from 0 to 3 and lower scores mean better function state and high scores mean worse function state
3 months after treatment
