Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate whether providing patients with a question prompt list (QPL) prior to their orthopaedic surgery clinic appointment improves their perceived involvement in care (PICs) score compared to being given 3 questions from the AskShareKnow model
The purpose of this study is to analyze the long-term effects of a physical exercise program on the cardiovascular system of people with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Indeed, it is recognized that RA patients have cardiovascular problems and that regular physical exercise (exercise training) may be beneficial for the disease complications, incluse the cardiovascular risk. Unfortunately, these patients do not exercise enough for fear of joint pain or for fear of deteriorating their general physical condition. It is known that intermittent exercises, ie combining low and high intensity work phases, are particularly effective in the cardiovascular field. As it is possible that the high intensity phases be more difficult to sustain than the low intensity phases (joint pain and degradation of the inflammatory status), the investigators propose to study the effects of cold water immersion in the legs after performing this exercise, because the cold being recognized as limiting the pain and improving the inflammatory status.
Study of incidence and risk factors of staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared with the general population in a nationwide cohort of all adult members of the population from 1996 until 2017 using national registries
This is a post-market, retrospective with one prospective visit, multi- center study, designed to assess the clinical outcomes, surgical details including Anterior or Posterior surgical approach, and collect all complication data of Medacta Versafit Cup DM used for primary or revision total hip arthroplasty at minimum two year post- operatively.
This is a study to demonstrate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of bimekizumab administered subcutaneously (sc) compared with placebo in the treatment of tumor necrosis factor alpha-inadequate responders (TNFα-IR) subjects with active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA).

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 cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is not fully understood. However, one of the substances secreted by certain cells in the body, interleukin-6 (IL-6), is believed to play a major role in chronic inflammation that is typical in RA. This study investigates the drug FB704A, which is believed to lower the inflammation caused by IL-6. This study will be in 2 sequential parts: a single increasing dose part (Part 1) and a multiple-increasing dose part (Part 2). Subjects will receive either active or placebo drug by IV infusion. Subjects in both parts will have a short stay in the clinic at the start of the study, then will return for outpatient visits.
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects aged above 45 years. RF has been used for several painful conditions. There have been a few attempts to use RF current for the treatment of painful conditions of joints of the extremities. It was also used for the treatment of painful conditions of the hip joint.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if baseline levels of T cell associated biomarkers predict efficacy of abatacept during 24 weeks of treatment in patients with moderate to severe active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to conventional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (cDMARDs)
