Filter by:This study aimed to investigate relationship between CTS diagnosis with electrodiagnostic studies and median nerve's cross-sectional area measered by US and MRI in PsA patients.
This study aimed to investigate median nerve hypervasculatitation in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients with CTS or without CTS by using SMI, then compare them with normal people.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of ustekinumab and guselkumab in active juvenile psoriatic arthritis (jPsA).
The purpose of this study is to assess the tissue distribution of guselkumab and risankizumab in healthy participants (Part 1) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) participants (Part 2 and Part 3).
This is a longitudinal, observational, prospective, multicentre study conducted in France, among a representative sample of rheumatology doctors. The aim of this study is to describe in real life the therapeutic strategy when faced with a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who requires initiation of treatment with biotherapy or targeted therapy. The evolution of the disease and the possible therapeutic adaptations will then be followed for 2 years.
The COVID-19 VaccinE Response in Rheumatology patients (COVER) study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine supplemental dose (booster) in patients with autoimmune conditions and to evaluate the impact of different immunomodulatory therapies on vaccine response. The investigators propose to recruit up to 1000- patients with autoimmune conditions who have a completed 2-dose regime of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (>28 days prior) and who are planning to receive an additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (i.e., booster). Participants in this study will be men and women 18 years and older with confirmed rheumatic disease, including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who express a decision to receive the mRNA vaccination booster within 30 days post enrollment. A primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that holding certain medications for a brief period of time around the time of COVID-19 vaccination might improve the response to the vaccine while not unduly having safety concerns with respect to the effects of their disease. During the study, participants using the immunomodulatory therapies described outlined in protocol will be randomized to temporarily hold (for 2 weeks) versus continue after they receive the COVID-19 vaccine supplemental dose. Patients who temporarily stop one of their medications for their autoimmune inflammatory disease may be at increased risk of flares of their autoimmune condition. If these occur, they are expected to occur within 2 - 4 weeks of treatment interruption. Detailed protocol outlines the hold schedules for the therapies to be randomized in this study.
Several studies suggested low serum level of vitamin D have been associated with rheumatoid arthritis. So, the present study was designed to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation along with CsDMARD in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Foot involvement is a major concern in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The patients could experience severe levels of foot pain and disability and reduced mobility and quality of life. Previous studies showed that the use of Custom foot orthoses (CFO) was effective to improve foot pain and perceived disability in patients with foot disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis. However, there are no records in the literature on the effectiveness of CFO in PsA patients. Therefore, our objective was o explore the effects of CFO on foot pain, foot function, gait spatiotemporal parameters (STP), and ambulatory physical activity (APA) in PsA patients with foot involvement. In this pre-experimental exploratory study, 22 PsA patients having stable medication in the last 3 months preceding the recruitment were recruited. All the patients wore functional CFO designed by an experimented podiatrist during a 7-week period. Foot and lower limb pain and foot function were measured at baseline (T0) and after the 7-week period using the numerical rating scale (NRS) and the foot function index (FFI), respectively. Gait function was assessed by recording spatiotemporal parameters (STPs) during a 10-meter walk test using an instrumented gait analysis system (Mobility Lab) at T0 and T7. Freeliving walking activities (step count, freeliving cadence, time spent in different ambulatory physical activity (APA) intensities) at T0 and T7 were recorded over 7 days using accelerometer data collected from an instrumented sock worn by the participants during waking hours.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of guselkumab plus golimumab combination treatment in participants with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and inadequate response (IR) to prior anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (anti-TNF-alpha) therapies by assessing clinical response compared with guselkumab monotherapy.
This is a multi-center, randomized, single-blinded, prospective, parallel group intervention study to investigate whether methotrexate (MTX) discontinuation for 1 week is non-inferior to MTX discontinuation for 2 weeks in regard to satisfactory vaccination response to a seasonal influenza.
