METHO-PR: Evaluation of the Impact of 3 Methods of Communication on the Adherence of Methotrexate in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Methotrexate (MTX) is the first-line treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Poor adherence of this treatment decreases the control of the disease and the effectiveness of the associated treatments.
The aim would be to study the observance of patients with RA and to be able to propose adequate solutions favoring patient compliance and thus the stability of the pathology.
For this purpose, 3 methods of communication have been put in place to encourage adherence:
usual care by the rheumatologist, sms sending or pharmaceutical maintenance.
