"Effect of Vitamin E (α-Tocopherol) on Clinical Activity and Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis"

Sponsor: University of Guadalajara

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.
