hCG and Rheumatoid Arthritis: What the Research Shows
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a pregnancy hormone. It is not a standard treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Some small studies suggest immunomodulatory effects, but evidence is limited and inconclusive. No high-quality trials support hCG for RA.
RA management relies on DMARDs, biologics, NSAIDs, and lifestyle changes. Discuss any alternative therapies with your rheumatologist before trying.
