Filter by:Primary objective: To determine the tolerability of different SAR153191 drug products that differ with respect to manufacturing processes and formulation, at different concentrations and doses, after administration of single subcutaneous doses to healthy male subjects. Secondary objectives: To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of the different SAR153191 drug products administered subcutaneously. To assess the safety of the different SAR153191 drug products administered subcutaneously.
The goals of this study are - To define what the public perceptions of persistent pain using a national survey - Explore relationships between the reported pubic beliefs and demographic factors collected. - To evaluate the impact of a public health campaign to increase awareness of persistent pain and develop understanding of pain that aligns with contemporary science.
the investigators study aimed to evaluate temporomandibular joint involvement in rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthy individuals 142 participants were recruited in two groups: 72 patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and 70 healthy controls. All participants were tested for seropositivity of rheumatoid factor and anticitrullinated protein antibodies. TMD diagnosis was determined according to the standardized and validated diagnostic criteria for TMD (DC/TMD): myalgia, arthralgia, articular disc, displacement, degenerative joint disease, and headache attributed to TMD. Bruxism, a probable sleep and/or awake bruxism diagnosis was determined based on self-report and several clinical findings.
This study includes two periods. In Period 1, Participants who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a twice-daily oral LNK01001 Dose A or LNK01001 Dose B or a matching placebo for 12 weeks. Participants who receive a placebo in Period 1 will be re-randomized at Week 13 in a 1:1 ratio to receive a twice-daily oral LNK01001 Dose A or LNK01001 Dose B for 12 weeks (period 2). Participants who receive LNK01001 ( Dose A and Dose B) in Period 1 will maintain the treatment dose in Period 2.
Even though medical treatment has improved within the last 10-15 years, patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) still experience reduced quality of life, depression, anxiety, changes in family roles, work life, and social relationships. Particularly the newly diagnosed, require regular consultations and available support from health professionals, to be able to handle emotional, social, and physiological challenges. The hypothesis is that a self-management intervention can improve patients' ability to monitor their arthritis and respond to symptoms, reduce the risk of co-morbidities, and improve adherence. And also, that they can develop cognitive, behavioral, and emotional strategies to manage life with arthritis. There is a lack of disease-specific evidence, in integrated interventions with multiple components targeting patients with a newly diagnosed IA. In a previous study, the investigators developed a self-management intervention, and now wish to test it in a randomized feasibility study.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous HS628 in combination with MTX versus Actemra in combination with MTX, in participants with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have inadequate response to current MTX therapy. The study comprises a 24-week treatment phase, followed by a 4-week safety observation period.
In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, the diagnosis of Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) was made based on clinical findings and physical examinations. Then, the cross-sectional areas of the participants' median nerves from different levels were measured. Meidolateral and anteroposterior diameter were measured at the level of the carpal tunnel inlet. Flattening ratio was calculated. wrist to forearm ratio and wrist to forearm difference were calculated. The obtained data were compared between RA with CTS, RA without CTS and healthy control.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the drug compliance of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and, to figure our factors that affect the compliance. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Medication use and compliance in children with chronic diseases is an important problem, but do patients with JIA really use their medications in harmony? - Does the level of adherence to medications affect the quality of life of patients with JIA? Participants will be asked to fill the demographic form which includes personal information and nutritional habbits, Morisky Drug Compliance Scale - 8 and the pediatric quality of life inventory forms, with attending researcher Yesfa Sebnem Ozbay, M.D. This study is not an interventional study.
The knee pain status of the patients who are followed in the rheumatology special branch of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic and who meet the inclusion criteria will be questioned. In patients with or without knee pain, the cartilage thickness measurement of the knee joint will be measured from 3 points by ultrasound. At the same time, Quadriceps and Hamstring muscle thickness measurements of the patients will be made from the midpoints where the muscle thickness is the highest. The physician who performed the ultrasonographic measurements of the knee pain status of the patients does not know.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease characterized by autoimmune systemic inflammatory polyarthritis, particularly affecting the joints of the hands. In addition to joint findings, extra-articular symptoms such as muscle pain, fatigue, fever and malaise are also common. Fatigue is characterized by a feeling of extreme tiredness and persistent exhaustion. The prevalence of fatigue is between 14% and 15% in healthy adults. Although fatigue is common in patients with RA, it may remain in the background in clinical evaluation. The etiology of fatigue in RA is related to inflammation, pain, psychosocial factors and sleep disturbance, it has not been fully explained.
