Filter by:This study evaluates the potential effects on pain, pain-related symptoms and quality of life of a yoga-mindfulness program, compared to patient education and physiotherapy, for patients with inflammatory arthritis and persistent pain problems.
In this trial different parts of the pain signalling system involved in two rheumatic diseases - painful hand osteoarthritis and psoriatic arthritis, is examined. These measurements will be compared to those of healthy volunteers The hypothesis is that patients with hand osteoarthritis and psoriatic arthritis react differently to painful and non-painful stimuli compared with the healthy volunteers. The aim is to recruit 66 patients with painful hand-osteoarthritis, 66 patients with painful psoriatic arthritis and 66 healthy subjects not currently suffering from any pain conditions. After completing an informed consent form subjects will participate in a single clinical visit. The pain signalling system is examined using pressure algometry and cuff algometry. A pressure algometer is a pistol shaped device that elicits pressure through a rod and a cuff algometer is akin to a blood pressure cuff. Different thresholds will be measured, such as when the sensation of pressure becomes painful and when the painful pressure becomes unbearable. Participants will also get hand strength tested, have their joints examined and answer questionnaires regarding daily function and quality of life. Furthermore participants will get blood drawn which is analysed for the presence of markers of inflammation and joint degeneration.
This is a single center exploratory imaging study investigating the initial application of zirconium-89 Deferoxamine B Certolizumab pegol (89Zr-DFO-CZP) PET in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with active symptoms of RA or signs on physical exam will be invited to participate for PET imaging.
A post market, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, open-label,clinical study using survivorship as the reference performance goal to study the safety and efficacy of the Cadence Total Ankle System (TAS) when used for primary ankle arthroplasty.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with a higher prevalence of infections, malignancies, osteoporotic fractures and cardiovascular diseases. Few data are available regarding the prevalence and severity of these comorbidities in elderly RA patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of age on prevalence and severity of comorbidities in RA.
This study is an observational study to test and validate a questionnaire and statistical model used to determine patient preferences regarding treatment for any one of 11 musculoskeletal conditions: hip arthritis, knee arthritis, hip labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), osteochondritis dissecans, Achilles tendon rupture, patellofemoral dislocation, distal radius fracture, and fractures of the hip, ankle, tibia, and proximal humerus. This study aims to understand how multiple treatment variables, including pain, rehabilitation time, cost, and choice of surgical versus non-surgical intervention, impact patients' decision-making processes and ultimate choice of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes experience a more severe disease course compared to control patients with osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes
Study X052070 will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of XOMA 052 administered to patients with active, stable, moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is hypothesized that administration of XOMA 052 is likely to improve inflammatory control in subjects with RA.
