Eric Ruderman, MD, discusses the recent FDA approval of vagus nerve stimulation for rheumatoid arthritis. The approval was based on the findings from the RESET-RA trial, which involved multiple locations, including Northwestern Medicine. Dr. Ruderman provides insights on the trial, which evaluated a stimulation device in patients who did not respond to conventional therapies. The trial observed significant improvements in disease activity with active stimulation when compared to patients who didn’t receive stimulation.

In this episode, we explore a potential paradigm shift in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis. For years, pharmacologic interventions have been the cornerstone of management, but now a groundbreaking approach is emerging. John Tesser, principal investigator in a pioneering study (https://acrabstracts.org/abstract/neu...) , discusses the use of an implantable device that stimulates the vagus nerve. By tapping into the body’s nervous system to reduce inflammation, this novel approach offers a promising alternative to traditional drug treatments. Tune in to learn how this innovative technology could reshape the future of Rheumatoid Arthritis care.
