Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the beneficial impacts of the 6-week standardized CR program applied to hypertensive RA patients whose disease activity is under control with regular pharmacological treatment. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1.) standard of care (SOC) treatment or 2.) SOC plus a 6 week CR program.
SUMMARY Background: Several studies have shown physical activity (PA) to be inversely correlated to disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, it is unclear whether improved PA leads to lower disease activity or if low disease activity predicts improved PA in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Furthermore, it is unknown how fibromyalgia (FM) affects this interaction. Objective(s): Our primary objective will be to compare the effect of an immediate improvement in physical activity after one week on the proportion of RA patients achieving low disease activity after 12 weeks of biological treatment. Furthermore, we will explore whether the presence of concomitant FM affects this clinical response (i.e., interaction between FM status and PA response). Design: A prospective cohort study in the form of a target-trial attempting to address a causal question comparing the outcome among the participants with an immediate improvement in physical activity, relative to individuals without. Setting and patients: Biologically naive RA patients initiating biological treatment are consecutively enrolled. PA is quantified by accelerometry one week prior to, one week after, and after 3 months of biological treatment. Sample size: 100 RA patients starting biological therapy is planned enrolled in the study. Measurements: RA patients will be divided into two groups depending on their improvement in physical activity after onset of biological treatment. The percentage of time spent in moderate-to-vigorously physical activity (MVPA) i.e., the percentage of time a patient is in motion [walking, running, bicycling, or swimming] is measured prior to, one week, and approximately 3 months after biological treatment onset, respectively. The MVPA ratio (MVPA After biological treatment/MVPA Before biological treatment) will divide patients enabling a contrast between two groups: Those with high improvement considering MVPA (after 1 week; the upper tertile of MVPA ratio of the sample) and those without. Treatment response (achieving a disease activity score < 3.2) after approximately 3 months from baseline will be analyzed as the contrast between groups.
introduction: In this study, the presence of sarcopenia in cases with early rheumatoid arthritis and established rheumatoid arthritis will be compared. Materials and Method: According to the power analysis, 24 patients with early rheumatoid arthritis and 24 patients with established rheumatoid arthritis who meet the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) / European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) rheumatoid arthritis (RA) classification criteria will be included in the study.
To study the effect of silymarin against methotrexate-induced liver injury in rheumatic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatric arthritis and psoriasis
Brief Summary: This is a randomized, double-blind study comparing LNK01001 to placebo in Chinese participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who are on a stable dose of conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) and have an inadequate response or Intolerance to biologic DMARDs(bDMARDs). The study objective of Period 1 (Day 1 to Week 24) is to compare the safety and efficacy of LNK01001 12 mg twice daily (BID) versus placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are on a stable dose of csDMARDs and had an inadequate response to or intolerance to at least 1 bDMARD. The study objective of Period 2 (Week 24 to Week 76) is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of LNK01001 12 mg BID in participants with RA who completed Period 1.
This clinical trial will test a mindfulness program in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The main goals of this pilot study are to: - Assess patient satisfaction with a mindfulness course - Identify barriers to participation in, or completion of, a mindfulness course - Gather initial information to understand how a mindfulness course impacts RA symptoms Participants will: - Complete online questionnaires - Attend two in-person study visits, involving a brief joint exam and blood draw - Roughly half the participants will have the chance to participate in an 8-week online mindfulness course - Roughly half the participants will be invited to participate in an online focus group following completion of the mindfulness course Researchers will compare those in the mindfulness course with those receiving standard care in preparation for a larger future study to see how mindfulness impacts stress and inflammation in individuals with RA.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of recombinant anti-interleukin-1β humanized monoclonal antibody injection in Chinese gout participants Initiating Urate-Lowering Treatment.
This study is a randomized controlled study examining the effects of 8-week hand home exercises on grip strength, functionality, disease activity and quality of life in patients with PsA. Individuals participating in the study will be randomly divided into 2 groups. Individuals in the intervention group will perform home exercises consisting of stretching, mobility and strengthening, 4 days a week for 8 weeks, and the patients' compliance with the exercise will be monitored by phone call once a week. Individuals in the control group are on the waiting list and the same home exercise program will be taught to the patients at the end of the study.
The goal of this non interventional study is to evaluate the use of Tyenne, a tocilizumab biosimilar, in a real world setting in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients over a period of 12 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the patients' persistence on Tyenne (patient's ability to continue the treatment for the prescribed duration), 6 months after treatment start? - What is the patients' persistence on Tyenne (patient's ability to continue the treatment for the prescribed duration), 12 months after treatment start? The decision of prescribing Tyenne will be done by the physician independently, prior to patient enrolment in the study. Enrolled patients will be followed for 12 months following Tyenne treatment start, or until they permanently discontinue Tyenne. There will be one baseline visit and three follow-up visits at approximately 3, 6 and 12 months after Tyenne treatment initiation. All follow-up visits will be conducted according to the physician current clinical practice and are not imposed due to this protocol.
