low level laser therapy. Each patient in group 1 takes 20 sessions of LLLT , in the form of 2 courses, each course contains 10 sessions ,as 3 sessions every week ,10 days free between 2 courses.
The laser apparatuses used for therapy in this study were the following,
1. HeNe Laser wavelength 632,8 nm, continuous emission, output power 7.3 mW.
2. GaAIAs diode laser (830 nm, maximum output power 300 mW).
12 patients
placebo laser and naproxen
Naproxen is given as tablet 500mg twice per day.

The diagnosis was identified according to 1987 revised criteria for RA classification (traditional format) ACR (1987) (9):
1) morning stiffness;
2) arthritis of three or more joint area;
3) arthritis of hand joints;
4) symmetrical arthritis;
5) rheumatoid nodules;
6) serum rheumatoid factor;
7) radiographic changes.
A patient shall be said to have RA if he/she has satisfied at least four of these seven criteria. Criteria 1 through 4 must have been present for at least 6 weeks.
Patient with 2 clinical diagnoses are excluded.
