The organisation formerly known as Arthritis Research Campaign (ARC) is a British medical research charity dedicated to curing arthritis. ARC, which had been founded originally as the Empire Rheumatism Council in 1936, changed its name to Arthritis Research UK () in 2010 as part of a drive to raise the profile of Arthritis research and the organisation itself. It has also reduced the potential for confusion with a plethora of other charitable groups using the 'arc' initials. ==About Arthritis Research UK== Arthritis Research UK is a United Kingdom based Charity, campaigning and working in the fight against arthritis. Arthritis Research UK was founded in 1936. Dr Stewart Adams, discoverer of Ibuprofen, opened Arthritis Research UK Pain Centre. The centre, which is based in Nottingham, aims to understand pain and to come up with more effective ways of dealing with it. Research has shown that 10 million people in the UK are affected by arthritis. Arthritis Research UK is working to help them to remain active by funding research, campaigning and providing information for patients, the public and health professionals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthritis Research UK」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
