Filter by:The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Functional training versus resistance training in improving functional capacity, muscle strength, quality of life and disease activity in patients with PSA.
This study evaluates a new screening tool for arthritis in psoriasis and compares its reliability with well-known screening tool (TOPAS 2).
This laboratory study will investigate the impact of cannabis on pain, affect, and inflammation among patients with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis (n = 76). Two cannabis formulations varying in potency will be administered via vaporization across two experimental sessions using a counter-balanced, double-blind, crossover design.
This study compare the genomics profiles in synovial biopsies obtained prior to, and 24 weeks after a biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs)(Adalimumab, Ustekinumab, Guselkumab) in patients with active psoriatic arthritis despite a treatment with a conventional synthetic DMARDs (such as methotrexate).
This study series consists of four related studies and aims to explore and describe many important elements of alopecia areata over three key areas: (1) the current epidemiology of alopecia areata, (2) the prevalence and incidence of psychiatric co-morbidities in people with alopecia areata, (3) the prevalence and incidence of autoimmune and atopic conditions in people with alopecia areata, and (4) the incidence of common infections in people with alopecia areata.
The purpose of this study was to provide up to 52 weeks of efficacy, safety and tolerability data to support registration of intravenous (i.v.) secukinumab (Initial dose of 6 mg/kg at Baseline (BSL) followed thereafter with 3 mg/kg administered every four weeks) in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) despite current or previous Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and/or anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy.
The overall aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary combined clinic intervention compared to usual care in a population of patients with two or more Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs).
Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases (CID) followed in gastroenterology, dermatology and rheumatology have physiopathological, epidemiological and therapeutic focal points. The pathologies concerned are inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD - Crohn's disease [MC] and ulcerative colitis [RCH]), chronic inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis or Verneuil's disease) and chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (rheumatoid arthritis [RA] and spondyloarthritis [SpA] including psoriatic arthritis [PsA]). Presenting one of these diseases is associated with a higher risk of having a second inflammatory pathology, whether the latter is ophthalmological, dermatological, rheumatological or gastroenterological. An association of extra-articular manifestations is observed in 10 to 30% of patients with SpA, and an association of extra-intestinal manifestations is observed in approximately 30% of patients with IBD. No common database for chronic systemic inflammatory diseases currently exists in France.
GÖTHA- The early arthritis and psoriasis study of Region Västra Götaland, Sweden - is a longitudinal observational study, which will prospectively and in parallel follow patients with newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA, N=1000), psoriatic arthritis (PsA, N=500) and undifferentiated arthritis (N=100), together with patients with psoriasis (N=500). The study will also recruit healthy controls from the general population (N=3000). The aims of the study are to define predictors for disease course and severity, treatment response, comorbidities, health related quality of life (HRQoL) and health economy. The study is a collaboration between the department of Rheumatology and the department of Dermatology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, and the departments of Rheumatology at the hospitals of Alingsås, Borås, Uddevalla and Skövde, in the west of Sweden. All patients with newly diagnosed RA, PsA and undifferentiated arthritis at the Rheumatology centers are eligible for inclusion. Patients with psoriasis will be recruited from the Department of dermatology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The patients will be examined at baseline and at one, three, five and ten years. The assessments will include physical examination with evaluation of joints, entheses and skin and validated questionnaires regarding medical history, comorbidities, lifestyle, disease activity, bodily function, socioeconomic factors and HRQoL. Blood samples will be collected. The patients with arthritis will also undergo radiography of the lung, hands and feet, and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) of hands and feet.
Background.Recent epidemiologic studies have shown an association between psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Recently, measurement of fecal calprotectin (FC) demonstrated a good sensitivity and specificity for intestinal inflammation. Primary objective of present study was to evaluate the presence of occult bowel inflammation in patients with PsA as expressed by elevated levels of FC. Secondary objectives were to investigate the correlation between the levels FC and clinical and laboratory features, and the outcome of CF-positive patients in terms of IBD development.
