Not Applicable

• Conditions: Polyarthritis; Rheumatoid; Methotrexate
• Interventions: Other: Communication methods to encourage adherence

• Registration Number: NCT03107299
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens

Brief Summary

Methotrexate (MTX) is the first-line treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Poor adherence of this treatment decreases the control of the disease and the effectiveness of the associated treatments.

The aim would be to study the observance of patients with RA and to be able to propose adequate solutions favoring patient compliance and thus the stability of the pathology.

For this purpose, 3 methods of communication have been put in place to encourage adherence: usual care by the rheumatologist, sms sending or pharmaceutical maintenance.
