Nerve conduction testing for people with rheumatoid arthritis taking baricitinib

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults with rheumatoid arthritis who meet standard classification criteria and are taking the JAK inhibitor baricitinib will undergo nerve conduction studies to measure sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs) and compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs). The testing will characterize sensory and motor nerve function along peripheral nerve pathways. Eligible, consenting participants seen at the site will have standardized NCS procedures performed and results compared to expected normative values and known neuropathy patterns. The protocol excludes patients with other causes of neuropathy such as diabetes or other rheumatologic/collagen diseases to isolate findings related to RA and baricitinib exposure.
