Filter by:The purpose of the study is to evaluate and characterize long-term safety of Kineret when used in standard clinical practice to treat patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA). The study will be based on already available data from the Pharmachild juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) registry which holds the European Network of Centers for Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacovigilance (ENCePP) study seal.
According to the International League of Associations for Rheumatology classification, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) comprises a heterogeneous group of arthritis of unknown cause and with onset before 16 years of age, characterized by joint inflammation lasting for 6 or more weeks. Few studies exist regarding the care experience of children affected by this rheumatic condition. On the other hand, methotrexate and biologics constitute the primary treatment for children with JIA. As with adults undergoing the same treatment, adherence is critical. Difficulties for children to take the drugs have been reported. Notwithstanding, if adherence promotion in pediatric chronic conditions has been the subject of recommendations with regard to care management, the investigators lack information to understand the grounds for adherence specifically in JIA. In order to understand and decipher the parent-child adherence mechanisms and practices, the RUMAJI study will be conducted. Indeed, improving the relational approach between children and their caregivers as well as unrestricted drug adherence involves researching and understanding how appropriation of the disease and treatment could be achieved.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of different exercises programs as 'Yoga' and 'Home Exercise' in Enthesitis Related Arthritis.
The aim of this study is to measure serum and synovial fluid levels of IL 33 and its relative mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients and to correlate it with the clinical and laboratory characteristics, disease activity and musculoskeletal ultrasound findings.
The aim of our study is to compare the immune function of patient treated with DMARD (methotrexate), or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitor (adalimumab) to healthy children. The study consists of three parts. In each part physical examination and routine laboratory tests are done. At the first examination flow cytometry analysis is performed, after that the participants are immunized with influenza (3Fluart) vaccine. At part two and three further flow cytometry is carried out and seroconversion is measured.
The primary objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of etanercept in children with polyarticular course JRA.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug baricitinib given orally is safe and effective in participants with JIA from 2 years to less than 18 years old.
This study will determine the incidences of infections and malignancies among JIA patients treated with abatacept
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common rheumatic diseases in childhood, affecting at least 1 in 1000 children. Children with JIA experience joint inflammation and swelling, pain and tenderness, morning stiffness, limited mobility. Children with JIA complain pain and have lower functional ability and decreased quality of life compared with their peers. Many studies have reported that patients with JIA have low physical activity levels and also exercise therapy is considered an important component of the treatment of JIA. Nowadays, studies for evaluating exercise behaviours in order to cope with physical inactivity for many chronic diseases are becoming increasingly important.The objective of this study is to determine exercise behaviour in patients with JIA.
The aims of this study is to primarily investigate fatigue and sleep and to secondarily examine possible relationships between disease activity, pain and functional ability in Turkish children and adolescents with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).
