Filter by:TRACER is a study aiming to investigate the feasibility of transition coaching sessions for patients moving from paediatric to adult rheumatology care.
Aim of the work The aim of this study is to compare the role of musculoskeletal ultrasound to serum Survivin and Lubricin in detection of disease activity in patients with oligoarticular and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Objectives - To assess disease activity using Juvenile arthritis disease activity score in 27 joints (JADAS 27) in the studied JIA patients. - To identify the prevalence of functional disability in JIA children and adolescents using the childhood health assessment questionnaire (CHAQ). - To perform MSUS on the involved joints. - To assess Survivin in the serum and in the synovial fluid if available in JIA patients. - To assess Lubricin in the serum and in the synovial fluid if available in JIA patients. - To compare the disease activity across individual patients using JADAS 27, MSUS and their relation to serum level of Survivin and lubricin.
Trivalent chromium has shown good results in abolishing inflammation and had a successful result in treating animal model of rheumatoid arthritis. In addition to that, trivalent chromium lacks many side effects which are related to the already known medications of the disease. So this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of trivalent chromium supplementation in rheumatoid arthritis treatment and measuring the outcomes of that in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
A prospective, multi-center, double-arm, parallel, interventional, randomized, controlled clinical trial to assess the rate of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing (HR) with XPERIENCE™ (XP) Advanced Surgical Irrigation versus dilute Betadine (DB).
The group used a randomized controlled trial to conduct a post-marketing re-evaluation study of Wangbi granules. The study was conducted to observe the degree of clinical remission in rheumatoid arthritis patients with low disease activity after standard methotrexate and tofacitinib citrate treatment, using a combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment with Wangbi granules. The study aims to provide evidence-based medical evidence to improve the clinical efficacy of rheumatoid arthritis, enhance the depth of remission, and improve the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
This study was conducted for assessment of adherence of Rheumatoid Arthritis patients to Methotrexate as a gold standard drug for treatment of R.A. Moreover, evaluating the effect of drug adherence to patient quality of life.
The aim of the study is to determine whether serum inflammatory angiogenic markers (eg, semaphorins, CCN1) predict severity of juvenile idiopathic arthritis defined by structural progression and/or therapeutic escalation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of multiple ascending oral doses of IA-14069 in healthy subjects and in patients with RA on stable dosese of MTX, with preliminary assessment of efficacy in RA patients.
Acute septic arthritis is a rare but life-threatening and functionally serious disease. The improvement or disappearance of pain and functional recovery are sometimes difficult to obtain, with in some cases the persistence of synovitis due to a prolonged local inflammatory response, despite early and effective treatment. The consequences are significant for patients with often significant chronic pain, repercussions on autonomy and/or profession. An unfavorable evolution with joint destruction and need for replacement by a prosthesis is not uncommon. Corticosteroid therapy is widely used in rheumatology in similar tables, for the purpose of drug synovectomy, with good results. The risk of infection remains the main contraindication to its use. There are very few studies on its use in septic arthritis, either fundamentally or in humans, for which there are no data in adults. However, these have shown results encouraging the investigators not to neglect this therapy.
Shared decision making is the first overarching principle for the treat to target guidelines for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and has been proposed as a potential mechanism to reduce health disparities, however there is little evidence to inform effective ways to implement this practice in the care of Veterans with RA. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component shared decision making intervention on RA disease activity, adherence to RA medications and patient knowledge of RA. The proposed research will contribute to fundamental knowledge about how to effectively foster shared decision making across varied VA rheumatology clinical settings to improve patient disease outcomes and experience; and support clinicians to engage patients in meaningful ways with the ultimate goal to improve health, reduce disability, and eliminate disparities.
