Filter by:Inflammatory arthritis (IA) is a major cause of long-term disability. Due to specialist shortages, failure of primary care providers and individuals to recognize the disease, and lack of awareness of the importance of early intervention, delays to rheumatologic care are common. Peer support models have been used for various health issues and may be one method to assist individuals with early IA to manage their disease and cope with stress. Qualitative research methods (one-on-one interviews) will seek out feedback on a peer support approach and explore the learning needs (informational needs, educational preferences) and opinions about emotional and appraisal support of individuals living with IA, from the perspectives of patients. The data will be analyzed and expressed themes (articulated needs and understandings of interviewee context) will guide the future development of a peer support intervention.
Investigate body image of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, correlating with self-esteem, function and quality of life.

Peer support models have been used for various health issues and may be one method to assist individuals with early IA to manage their disease and cope with stress. Qualitative research methods (focus groups) will seek out feedback on a peer support approach and explore the learning needs (informational needs, educational preferences) and opinions about emotional and appraisal support of individuals living with IA, from the perspectives of patients. The data will be analyzed and expressed themes (articulated needs and understandings of interviewee context) will guide the future development of a peer support intervention.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the activity of 2 oral doses of AB1010 in subjects suffering from active RA who have shown an inadequate response to one DMARD including MTX or anti-TNF, after 3 months (12 weeks) of treatment. The safety and efficacy will be evaluated on: Rate of patients achieving ACR 20, 50, 70 and 90 DAS (disease activity score) after 3 months treatment ACRn after 3 months treatment Therapeutic maintenance of AB1010 at 3 months Quality of Life assessed by SF12 Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Clinical and biological safety Pharmacokinetic profile of AB1010
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of natalizumab in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) receiving concomitant methotrexate (MTX)
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of tanezumab compared with naproxen and placebo in patients with osteoarthritis.
Previous studies have analyzed serological responses following pneumococcal vaccination using 23-valent vaccination (Pneumovax) in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients that were on different therapeutic modalities including TNF-blockers and methotrexate. The results have shown that serological response was significantly reduced in RA patients receiving methotrexate compared to those receiving TNF-blockers. In contrast when using polypeptide immunisation (influenza vaccine) we found that anti-TNF significantly impaired the serological response compared to the methotrexate treated RA patients. The aim of this study is to analyze serological responses after Prevenar vaccination in patients with chronic arthritis and to study the impact of different treatment modalities on serological responses. It will be of interest to see if the result is different compared to the one seen after immunizing with 23-valent nonconjugated pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.
Clinical study to evaluate the effect of platelet rich plasma (PRP), a derivative of a patient's whole blood, on short-term patient outcomes following total knee replacement (TKR).

Due to specialist shortages, failure of primary care providers and individuals to recognize the disease, and lack of awareness of the importance of early intervention, delays to rheumatologic care are common. Peer support models have been used for various health issues and may be one method to assist individuals with early IA to manage their disease and cope with stress. One-on-one semi-structured interviews will seek out feedback on a peer support approach and explore the learning needs (informational needs, educational preferences) and opinions about emotional and appraisal support of individuals living with IA from the perspectives of family and friends. The data will be analyzed and expressed themes (articulated needs and understandings of interviewee context) will guide the future development of a peer support intervention.
