Patient and public involvement
Patient and public involvement (PPI) in research is an important part of all OCTRU trials. PPI, by people with real life “lived” experience is essential to enable high quality trials to be developed, grow and blossom. OCTRU trials, and the researchers running them, actively involve patients and the public in their research.
SARAH Trial
The SARAH (Strengthening And Stretching For Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Hand) trial contacted 490 people who had problems with their hands and wrists as a result of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). They then either received usual care (between 1 and 3 sessions of advice with a hand therapist) or the SARAH exercise programme (6 sessions of supervised exercises with a hand therapist). We are pleased to inform you that this trial was able to reach valuable conclusions about these different treatments.
