STILL RECRUITING - Investigating Cognition in Rheumatoid Arthritis (ICoRA)

This study on memory and cognition follows on from a pilot study which NOAR participants helped frame. We have now extended the ICoRA study to all over-50s. Taking part is easy and done from home, with no hospital visits needed: taking around 30 minutes, you just need access to a computer or tablet, have an internet connection and email address. Participants complete a series of online cognitive assessments, with detailed instructions provided. The data collected may show cognitive ability changes in RA and any relationships with clinical factors (e.g., disease activity, treatment).

You are eligible to take part if you:

  • Are a NOAR participant
  • Are aged 50 or over
  • Have a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis

If you are interested in taking part, please visit ICoRA - Home (mantal.co.uk) for more information and instructions on how to give your consent or you can read the participant information sheet below.

We understand that some participants may not be comfortable completing online assessments. To make the ICORA study as inclusive as possible we would like to offer the option of attending a face to face appointment at the UEA, where you can be guided through the assessments by a member of the study team. If this is something you would be interested in attending, please contact us to arrange an appointment. Telephone 01603 597205 or email noar@uea.ac.uk
