How to treat hands/wrists pain due to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)?

My wife has RA and has for many years. She uses compression gloves and CBD.
I also gave her an article on a new RA treatment approved by the FDA in August or September from Setpoint Medical. It essentially is a small device implant on the Vega nerve that sends a daily electrical signal down that path which impacts inflammation. The randomized trial showed at least a 20% improvement in Joint inflammation. She will be talking to her doctors about it.

@bens1 Please keep us posted. We have a current discussion asking whether anyone has tried it. Since my RA is "dispersed" and affects more than one part of my body, I will ask my rheumatologist about it at my next appointment.
So far, it appears use will be limited to people who have failed both DMARD and Biologic drug treatments, so I probably won't qualify. But my daughter is on her third biologic, so she might qualify.
