Filter by:Acupuncture is used and recommended by the WHO for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis. The molecular bases of this recommendation are not known, the investigators want to compare with the usage of high-throughput molecular technologies the variations occurring in patients treated with acupuncture and conventional treatment with the ones treated with conventional treatment only. The investigators observe the variations in blood and in the gut microbiome.
The purpose of this study is to see if supplementation of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) can be beneficial for the patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
This study was intended to assess the efficacy and safety of different Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs cycle combination regimen using the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria of 20% improvement in symptoms (ACR20) in managing active adult rheumatoid arthritis.
Background: - People with arthritis should be active. Regular exercise leads to less pain, more energy, improved sleep, and better day-to-day function. Yet arthritis is one of the most common reasons people give for limiting activities. - Yoga for arthritis has been studied before. However, few studies have included minorities. Making changes to yoga classes based on language and culture may help people use yoga to care for their arthritis symptoms. Researchers want to see if minority populations with arthritis will come to and benefit from yoga classes. Objectives: - To see if yoga classes designed for people with arthritis will be acceptable to minorities with arthritis. Eligibility: - Adults at least 18 years of age who are enrolled in the Natural History of Rheumatic Disease in Minority Communities study. - Participants will have osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. - Participants will be able to speak and read English or Spanish. Design: - The total study period covers 10 weeks. - The first study visit will include an initial questionnaire about health and arthritis. Participants will also have a physical exam. - Participants will have yoga classes twice a week for 8 weeks. The classes will be 1 hour long each. - After completing the yoga classes, participants will complete another questionnaire about their health. They will have a final physical exam. - Follow-up contact will be made 3 months after the end of the study.
This observational study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra (tocilizumab) in patients with active moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response to non-biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Data will be collected from each eligible patient initiating RoActemra treatment over 6 months.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can affect any synovial joint. Unlike the hand, ever so valued in the physical examination of patients with RA, the joints in the area of the jaw and neck may also be affected in this disease and have their involvement usually underdiagnosed. There are few studies evaluating the incidence of orofacial alteration in the examination as well as the correlation between bite force (BF) and clinical and functional parameters in these patients. The aim of our study was to chacacterize the orofacial alterations in RA patients, correlate the results of the orofacial evaluation with clinical and disease activity parameters, and correlate the bite force with the hand strenght.
This multi-center, observational study will evaluate the use in clinical practice and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Eligible patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to the approved label will be followed for 6 months.
This multi-center, non-interventional study will evaluate the pattern of usage in clinical practice, efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients initiated on treatment with RoActemra/Actemra according to the licensed Canadian product monograph recommendations will be followed for 12 months from the start of treatment.
This observational study will evaluate the effect on disease activity and the safety in routine clinical practice of MabThera/Rituxan (rituximab) in patients with severe active rheumatoid arthritis, who have an inadequate response to one or more anti-TNF therapies. Data will be collected for 12 months.
This study will compare an experimental drug called Z102 (combination of prednisolone and dipyridamole, against prednisone 5mg and prednisone 7.5mg in patients with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis for a period of 52 weeks.
