Objectives
Narrative objectives1 In this study, we predict the progression of joint destruction by using the (US) ultrasound joint and analyze whether the joint destruction is suppressed by increasing methotrexate (MTX) in clinical remission with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.

Interventions/Control_1 We randomly assigned patients who have the positive joint of power Doppler signal by ultrasonography even in clinical remission to increase or stable the dose of MTX and observation .
MTX increase group was increased to 16mg, it will continue to increase as much as possible.
Interventions/Control_2 We randomly assigned patients who have the positive joint of power Doppler signal by ultrasonography even in clinical remission to increase or stable the dose of MTX and observation .
MTX increase group was increased to 16mg, it will continue to increase as much as possible.
Interventions/Control_3 We observe the patients if there is no positive joint power Doppler signal.

Results
Clinical remission according to composite indexes allowed the presence of subclinical active synovitis that might induce structural joint damages. Subclinical active synovitis should be controlled by additional treatment and this results in the prevention of the joint damage progression. Evaluation of subclinical active synovitis by using high resolution US should be important even in patients achieving clinical remission and it should be treated more intensively if active synovitis is positive.
