"Effect of Vitamin E (α-Tocopherol) on Clinical Activity and Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis"
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Will take vitamin E 800mg/day: Patients with deficient vitamin E intake (\<15mg/day), who are treated with conventional synthetic FARMEs (Metrotexato, Hydroxychloroquine, Leflunomide, Sulfasalazina and their combinations) plus vitamin E 800mg/day.
Will take 200mg/day magnesium oxide placebo.: Patients with RA deficient in vitamin E intake (\<15mg/day) , who are treated with conventional synthetic FARMEs (Metrotexato, Hydroxychloroquine, Leflunomide, Sulfasalazina and their combinations) plus the consumption of magnesium oxide 200mg/day in placebo form.
Study summary
The objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether α-tocopherol (vitamin E) supplementation decreases inflammation and clinical activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).The main questions to be answered are:
* Is supplementation with vitamin E (α-tocopherol) for one month associated with decreased clinical activity and inflammation in patients with RA?
Researchers will compare α-tocopherol with a placebo (a look-alike substance containing no active ingredient) to see if α-tocopherol effectively reduces inflammation and clinical activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Participants will:
* Take two capsules (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) of either α-tocopherol or placebo every day for a month.
* Attend clinic visits at the start of the intervention (baseline) and at the end of the month for final check-ups and tests.
* Keep a diary to record your symptoms and how often you take α-tocopherol or placebo.
