Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that significantly impacts daily life by causing pain, swelling, and restricted movement in the joints. This study aimed to investigate the effects of yoga and combined exercise methods on the symptoms of RA in individuals with the condition, comparing them to a control group that did not engage in exercise. Participants were comprehensively evaluated at baseline, week 8, and week 20 for key variables such as pain level, balance, joint mobility, depression level, fatigue level, and quality of life. This research seeks to reveal the potential benefits of exercise in RA management, thereby contributing to the development of effective treatment approaches that improve patients' quality of life. The findings will help both patients and healthcare professionals better understand the role of exercise in RA treatment, serving as a crucial guide for creating individualized treatment plans. The results are expected to offer valuable insights for developing strategies to enhance the physical and mental health of individuals with RA.
