Description
Van der Helm-van Mil and Raza wrote a 2026 review on the stages that come before rheumatoid arthritis. Care for the joint disease has improved over the past decade. Growing interest now turns to stopping the disease before joints are even inflamed, by treating people in its early, hidden phases.
Trials in people at high risk show promise, but full prevention is not yet possible. The early phase varies as much as the disease itself. Some people have joint pain and scan signs of inflammation for long periods. Others develop arthritis with little warning. Risk comes from genes and from exposures such as smoking and work dust. Not all at-risk people go on to get the disease. The review maps what is known and what trials must still answer.
