Filter by:This is a randomized controlled study. Baricitinib 4mg in one arm and Baricitinib 2mg in another arm will be used. Methotrexate 10mg per week in both arms will be used.
The goal of this randomized-controlled study is to learn about the effectiveness of the Mulligan mobilization in rheumatoid hands. The main question it aims to answer are: -Does mulligan mobilization reduce effusion in wrist joints with rheumatoid arthritis? Participants will take Mulligan mobilization application and active ROM exercises for their hands. Researcher will compare treatments group ith sham mobilization.
A variant of the TNFSF13B gene, commonly referred to as BAFF-var has been associated with an increased risk of developing immune-mediated diseases, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This polymorphism leads to the production of higher levels of BAFFs, that in turns are associated with more severe disease, high anti-Sm and anti-dsDNA titre, complement consumption, and increased risk of flare in SLE, and higher disease activity in RA. This is a prospective study aiming to explore the immunological basis of a potential role of BAFF-var as a prognostic biomarker for response to belimumab and rituximab, the main B-depletive treatments, in SLE and RA patients, respectively. More in detail, the study aims to evaluate if the condition of BAFF-var carrier in SLE and RA patients, treated respectively, with belimumab plus standard of care or rituximab influences immunological, molecular and clinical variables, such as: (a) soluble BAFF (BAFFs) cytokine, (b) mRNA-BAFF (c) miRNA-15a (d) B-cell subpopulations (d) disease activity, as assessed by standardized clinimetric tools.
This study is a retrospective multicenter study to review the use of Simplex High Viscosity Bone Cement in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of dapansutrile (OLT1177®) tablets in subjects with an acute gout flare.
Chronic peripherial arthritides are common diseases with soaring public health consequences. Our goal is to assess the role of photon-counting detector computed tomography in the diagnostics of peripherial arthropathies.
Patients diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) confront decisions about how to treat their disease, interact with their health care providers, and modify lifestyle choices that may improve treatment outcomes. With sponsorship support from Janssen and in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic, this survey study will seek to understand and examine whether people living with PsA are interested in and motivated to participate in wellness activities. This cross-sectional observational survey study will help researchers and clinicians to better understand what some of the barriers and facilitators experienced by patients are when considering participation in guided online wellness activities. People that qualify for the study and complete a 10-minute survey will be invited to participate in Immune Strength, an online wellness program developed by the Cleveland Clinic. Immune Strength is a free 10-week program for creating better habits for a more resilient immune system. By following this program, participants will have the opportunity to learn about how to develop strategies and implement behavior changes for healthier immune functioning. Participants will be recruited by the Global Healthy Living Foundation (GHLF). GHLF is the parent organization of the CreakyJoints® (CJ) arthritis patient community and primary site for the PCORI-funded Arthritis Patient Partnership with Comparative Effectiveness Researchers (AR-PoWER) Patient Powered Research Network (PPRN), known as ArthritisPower®. ArthritisPower is a subset of CreakyJoints members who have expressed interest in participating in research and signed an informed consent form to participate in the PPRN and its associated research. Any individuals recruited from CreakyJoints or Facebook, who are not already members of ArthritisPower will be encouraged to join the ArthritisPower registry research app, but will not be required to do so in order to participate in the study.
This study includes RA patients in pregnancy, who are using different treatment regimens，including prednisone, hydroxychloroquine, and/or TNF inhibitors. The maternal disease activity, pregnancy outcomes, maternal and fetal safety are assessing during the trimester of pregnancy. The effects of different therapies and risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes will be analysis.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate cardiac comorbidity in a random sample of approximately 1200 patients from a population of outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis referred to collectively as inflammatory arthritis (IA). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Using conventional echocardiography, the investigators aim to determine the prevalence of overt and asymptomatic cardiac dysfunction in a large random sample of outpatients with IA. Cardiac dysfunction will be evaluated by echocardiography and cardiac biomarkers (NT-pro-BNP, hs-TNT and hs-CRP). - In patients without known heart disease: Using 2, 5 and 10 year follow-up, the investigators aim to examine if advanced echocardiography can be used to detect early signs of heart disease by investigating the clinical significance of adding deformation measures - alone and in combination with selected biomarkers - to conventional risk factors in the cardiac risk assessment of patients with IA Participants will undergo an echocardiographic examination in combination with a general health assessment including obtainment of cardiac biomarkers and a electrocardiogram. Using advanced echocardiography - Tissue Doppler Imaging, 2- dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, 3D-echocardiography and 3-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography - the investigators also aim to compare myocardial deformation parameters of patients with IA to a gender and age matched control group without IA from the Copenhagen City Heart Study.
This is a study to demonstrate the clinical efficacy and safety of the nanobody® sonelokimab administered subcutaneously (sc) compared with placebo in the treatment of adult participants with active psoriatic arthritis. The study includes adalimumab treatment as an active reference arm.
