Comparison between ultrasound guided Ozone, platelet-rich plasma or steroid injection in the treatment of sacroiliitis; a Randomized Double Blinded Controlled Study
Social determinants of health (SDoH), defined by the World Health Organization as "the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live and age and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life" are estimated to be responsible for nearly 90 percent of a person's health outcomes. SDoH are key contributors to racial, ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in care healthcare access and health outcomes. The goal of this clinical trial is to identify patients with inflammatory arthritis or with a systemic rheumatic condition with arthritis who may respond to the simplest and least expensive intervention to address their SDoH-related needs- a tailored list of resources, those who benefit from a community-based resource specialist to help address specific needs, and those who require a nurse-trained navigator to help both coordinate the services provided by the community-based specialist, and their medical and mental health care and needs. The main questions the clinical trial aims to answer are: 1. To test the efficacy of a rheumatology clinic-based nurse navigator and community resource specialist to reduce appointment no-shows and same-day cancellations in patients with systemic rheumatic conditions with arthritis. 2. To examine the cost-effectiveness of each of the different study interventions for individuals with systemic rheumatic conditions with arthritis with SDoH-related needs using questionnaires and cost-related care metrics. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 arms. In Arm 1, patients will receive a cultivated list of resources related to the needs that patients indicate on the social determinants of health questionnaire. Arm 1 is the control arm which receives the current standard of care. In Arm 2, patients will receive the assistance of a community resource specialist (CRS) - an individual without formal medical training with community-based expertise. In Arm 3, patients will receive the assistance of a nurse patient navigator with additional systemic rheumatic condition-specific training who will work with the CRS. After 6 months, patients who do not respond to Arm 1 will move to Arm 2. Patients who do not respond to Arm 2, will move to Arm 3. Patients who do not respond to Arm 3 will remain in Arm 3. Patients who respond to any arm will graduate the program at 6 months. The patients who do not respond be in their new arm for 6 months. At 12 months, all patients remaining in the study will graduate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of patients with sacroiliac joint pain treated with the CATAMARAN SI Joint Fusion System.
Pilot study to evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of the Neurolyser XR as a treatment for sacroiliitis
The purpose of this study is to describe the impact of the iFuse Bedrock technique to decrease post-operative pains in patients who underwent multilevel posterior lumbosacral fusion.
Intra-articular steroids have been also practiced since a long time. These agents have a better and safer profile as compared to oral drugs in terms of adverse effects/contraindications of the later. Moreover, Intra-articular steroids impart a better pain relief by delivering and also delays any surgical intervention thereby improving the patient's quality of life. Without imaging, intra-articular injection has been shown in only 22% of patients so ultrasound, fluoroscopic imaging and computerized tomographic (CT) are required to ensure accuracy. Comparing to other guidance, ultrasound guided injection provides easy, safe, accurate, non-invasive, inexpensive imaging and lacking exposure to radiation.
Spondyloarthropathies (SpAs) are chronic inflammatory diseases encompassing ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, enteropathic arthropathy, and undifferentiated SpA. In 2001, the estimated prevalence of SpA was 1.5% worldwide. Sacroiliitis is a condition caused by inflammation within the sacroiliac joint. It is the most frequent damage of SpA depicted at imaging evaluation. Conventional radiography (X-ray) is usually used to depict the structural changes associated with sacroiliitis. However further evaluation often requires additionnal computed tomography (CT). Tomosynthesis is an Xray-based imaging technology which allows reconstruction of multiple section images from a set of projection images acquired as the x-ray tube moves along a prescribed path. The advantagee of tomosynthesis is the significant reduction of radiation dose exposure compared to CT Tomosynthesis is currently used in the field of breast imaging and pneumology. Very few studies have examined the value of tomosynthesis for osteoarticular imaging. The study aims at evaluating the diagnostic performances of tomosynthesis as compared to standard X-ray and CT, in patients with a clinical suspicion of sacroiliitis. the investigators hypothesize that tomosynthesis is superior to conventional radiography for detection of sacroiliitis and is at least equal to CT with lower irradiation.
The aims of this study are: 1° to assess the value of pelvic radiography and sacro-iliac joint (SIJ) MRI compared to CT scan of SIJ for the diagnosis of structural sacro-iliitis and 2° to quantify structural elementary lesions on MRI and for the first time on CT-scan according to a SPARCC approach in a cohort of patients with a suspicion of spondyloarthritis (ECHOSpA).
