Naproxen is given as tablet 500mg twice per day. 12 patients |
|
| Interventions/Control_3 | naproxen
Naproxen is given as tablet 500mg twice per day. 10 patients |

| Key inclusion criteria | The diagnosis was identified according to 1987 revised criteria for RA classification (traditional format) ACR (1987) (9):
1) morning stiffness; 2) arthritis of three or more joint area; 3) arthritis of hand joints; 4) symmetrical arthritis; 5) rheumatoid nodules; 6) serum rheumatoid factor; 7) radiographic changes. A patient shall be said to have RA if he/she has satisfied at least four of these seven criteria. Criteria 1 through 4 must have been present for at least 6 weeks. |
