The causes of such a disease as rheumatoid arthritis remain unknown to this day. However, an increase in the number of leukocytes in the blood and an increase in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate indicate that the nature of the process is infectious. Scientists have come close to creating the most effective means to combat this disease.
The disease is suspected to be due to an infection that causes immune system disorders in genetically predisposed individuals.
The disease entails a high risk of disability (70%), occurring quite early. Death from this disease is possible mainly from infectious complications and renal failure. The first manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis can occur after heavy physical exertion, fatigue, shock, as well as during the period of hormonal changes in the body.
Recent research has given hope for a cure for rheumatoid arthritis. So, doctors have high hopes for a coin-sized implant, which is now being tested in Europe. The implant has the ability to change the signals that come from the nervous system, which can help to cope with inflammation of the joints.
The disc interferes with the vagus nerve, which transmits signals between the brain and major organs. The disc sends electrical signals that reduce the activity of the spleen. Thus, it contributes to less production of compounds in the body that can provoke inflammation of the joints.
The inclusion of the implant is due to the magnet, which is located on the skin. Thus, just three minutes a day can be enough to get rid of pain and inflammation. The test results indicate the promise of the new development of scientists. So, among the 20 patients who were involved in the test, a noticeable improvement in the condition was noted in more than 50% of patients, and complete relief of symptoms was recorded in a third of the subjects. Scientists plan to introduce the miracle disk into practice in the next 10 years.
