A recent study suggests that acupuncture may be a non-pharmacological intervention to start early after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for managing and treating the disease based on each patient's individual need. The findings of the study were presented at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2021.

According to the study, the effect of acupuncture was evident in patients whose treatment was combined with the pharmacological treatment already in place. Also, the decrease in the DAS28-CRP score was clearly visible implying that acupuncture when combined with treatment already underway allows decreasing RA activity.
